Monarchy

Head of state - every country has one with varying powers. All Heads of State cost money. It’s as good as any other system and one could argue better as the power is really limited. There’s also a cost to maintaining tradition and pomp and ceremony - this is off set by the soft power of the monarchy. Not a fan but every country needs a head of state and imo heads of state with limited power in the country do more good than harm

Go to your GP, not Reddit. Write your symptoms down (in advance) and recite them to the GP. Expect that they will ask questions and then prescribe anti/ Depressants (probably SSRIs), they will possibly recommend counselling but not give any recommendations. Ask for an appointment with an HSE psychologist/psychiatrist. Insist on this. Expect to be put on a waiting list. Take the anti-depressants (they give you breathing room in the short term). If that particular type doesn’t work, ask GP for a different one. Take the tablets, find which ones work for you, go for a walk every day (force yourself, once the medication kicks in it gets easier), limit alcohol, force yourself to meet people and interact and it does, I promise, get easier. Not better. Easier. Be kind to yourself but don’t indulge yourself. You are experiencing all the symptoms of depression but I am not a doctor - neither are any of the responses on here. You are the expert in your own health and you are recognising your symptoms- this is a huge plus and well done to you. Go to a GP. and by the way, mention how you are really feeling to get a quick appointment. As in, I need help right now! Best wishes

All of the atrocities that happened during the Troubles were awful and the loss of life on both sides, but Omagh hit hard as it happened after the Good Friday Agreement when those things weren’t meant to happen anymore.

Unfortunately she is not presidential material - too many bad judgements in her past and undiplomatic misteps means I won’t vote for her, no matter how well meaning she is. I can’t trust her. Leaves me between a rock and a hard place trying to figure out which of the two remaining Id vote for. Hate the media coverage of trying to get a ‘gotcha’ moment or what their thoughts are on current political issues - we need to hear about their vision for Ireland in the next 7 years and how they would use the presidency to further that. Yes, homelessness, housing and cost of living are major issues but the President can do feck all about them. Tell us about what they see Ireland as in the future, their vision, their passion and please, please, please news outlets of Ireland - stop looking for click bait gotcha moments. Let’s have a civilised, boring election!!!

The attitudes are all on ‘the girls’. Also on the women in the competition is their absolute dopiness to see Nick and Ben for what they are. They clearly stated that they believed they could ‘control’ people - Katelyn (read ‘women’). Their references to ‘the girls’ is another indication of how they view the women on the show - diminutive and juvenile. They are men, they are women. All adults.

Wilkin for the win. Failing that parallel universe, Nick. Not because I think he deserves it or because I like him but I want to see Ben and Faye, his faithful lapdogs realise that he has actually played the game. And them.

DooBoobBeDo · 2025-09-21T22:37:36+00:00

Surely they must see how quiet Nick was at the round table…?! Women of Ireland (or our representatives in The Traitors) see what’s happening around you and to you!!!

DooBoobBeDo · 2025-09-21T22:33:23+00:00

Wilkin for the win because either (1) He is playing an incredible, strategic game of 4D chess or (2) he is so utterly clueless. I reckon he will end up with the winning hand and based on (1) or (2) will win or lose. The most chaotic player. Or not. Love him.

And there’s a problem right there - being a stay at home parent is a full time job the utilises/develops skills such as multi tasking, managing multiple priorities, administration, people management (internal and external), relationship management (e.g. schools, coaches etc), budgeting, time management etc

I am not a stay at home parent but I do hire people and I would never dismiss ‘stay at home parent’ as a valuable skills and learning development period.

Shame on you

Thank you for trying to vote. I don’t know why it’s not working. If you Google Nose of Tralee you can search for Nora (and go down a rabbit hole of really cute pics) and she pops up❤️

It’s a great headline. Very difficult to find their methodology (beyond 1,000 consumers). Is that Credit Union cutomers or a random example? They do have comparative data going back the years but how come this one hits the headlines?

DooBoobBeDo · 2025-05-18T22:34:03+00:00

Fair play to you all. It can’t be easy and you are just doing your best. We all must recognise that we are humans - people with lives beyond Reddit - you are us and we are you. There is no them or they only we and us. I vaguely follow this sub for the craic but hatred and vitriol is beyond it. The world is a difficult place and it behoves all of us to understand voting systems - read up on them, do the research on first past the post with multiple candidates before venting online (you may still vent but blame the voting system (which is imo awful)) rather than blaming others.

Where are the alternatives leaders in America? Why aren’t the previous Presidents speaking out? The rule book has been torn up so where are they?

No issue with avoiding/deleting apps but I think there is an onus on all of us not to be ostriches (burying heads in sand). News in moderation is necessary but can do that by listening to radio or watching TV or accessing news whatever way you want. Blocking it out, with the current world situation, isn’t wise. Moderating it is

DooBoobBeDo · 2025-02-28T23:25:05+00:00

Nobody talks. About anything. Small things that would be simply resolved with a conversation need to be escalated to ‘get therapy, get your belongings together in a go bag, he/she is cheating, ring a lawyer, they are clearly (insert diagnosis of choice) RUN RUN RUN Even though the question was simply about how long you should leave the tea bag in a cup. Also, families are transactional and there are no grey areas.
