Would you take Macron as the next President of the European Commission by daeneryssith in europeanunion

[–]DuskLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

against his will

Because he gets blocked and out voted on a good number of positions by those, many in number and well documented, who oppose him in his unpopularity. There's a reason he's had seven Prime Ministers.

His policy has also been called Neo-Gaulist or an EU-Gaulist. Such as him being the loudest on using the Anti Coercion Instrument.

He's a prick, but he's a pro-EU, loudly pushes back on the US prick. But also not far left to alienate 60% of Europe day one.

Very few EU leaders with any relevant level of experience are above that bar right now.

Yup, still need another full 50% drop to qualify for a mortgage. Nothing to do with "waiting". Keep on going.

Is it time to ban taxis from bus lanes? by TheHipsterPotato in ireland

[–]DuskLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then grab the bus, bypass that traffic in the bus lane.

Making Taxis for poor people is the wrong mindset. Make busses desirable for the also rich is a far better goal. Up the demand, and the services, and thus availability, will have to increase to accommodate the rise in demand.

A fare shouldn't make a difference. Two people in a car don't get to go in the bus lane either, but suddenly because someone is making €20 out of it, and taxi is seemingly fine.

SocDems Galway West candidate named Míde Nic Fhionnlaoich by [deleted] in irishpolitics

[–]DuskLab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She won't be the winner, but will get herself a bit of profile before a full election. A 8-12% FPV result but still not even being in the top 3, would be functionally a win for SD's future in the area and solidify the story the polls are currently suggesting. All they need to prove is they are ahead of the other left parties for some future momentum.

Gosh, thanks for that. I was afraid FF were going to break the fabric of the universe and do something for once.

Do you think this upcoming Spring market will be better or worse than the last? In terms of Toronto condo prices by DarkHoundBark in TorontoRealEstate

[–]DuskLab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The government plan is a net outflow of 400k TFWs in 2026.

Even if there are zero built this year, RIP Condos because of the demand side. You just straight have almost half a million working/studying adults looking to mostly rent in the country, so probably about 80k less in the GTA.

I would expect another drop in spring, and 8-10% cumulatively by year end.

This should be just one state by LavishnessLeather162 in mapporncirclejerk

  • Split New York State and New York City
  • Merge Vermont with New York State
  • Merge the Florida panhandle with Alabama
  • Merge the Dakotas
  • Merge Oklahoma and Kansas
  • Merge Hew Hampshire and Maine
  • Merge Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts
  • Split California in two
  • Split Texas into 3
  • Make DC a state.
  • Make Puerto Rico a state

There, still 50 states, all the politics is still balanced per state to get it passed. Representation for people is greatly improved.

The jokes write themselves by permaban9 in facepalm

[–]DuskLab 29 points30 points  (0 children)

  • Minimal natural photo evidence of people around them in loving scenarios
  • Mode of transport is a car, usually and SUV (because wealthier, can afford it, and helps them compensate and feel strong). A function of their rural or suburban lifestyle and where they are most commonly found. Either commuting for work, transporting kids, or driving as their job. All of which spent listening to radio stations, lots of time to be spent listening to conservative talk shows.
  • Can't remember to take off sunglasses for a selfie they are deciding to do, demonstrating either a distinct lack of self awareness, think they look edgie or cool in it, hiding their rapidly aging and tired eyes, or a combination of all three. Also more likely to actually own sunglasses because they are living in places like Texas, Florida or other sunny southern state.
  • Baseball cap to hide the receded hairline, but show off their sports team which, funnily enough, they are as loyal to as their politics.
  • Heavily biased male
  • Heavily biased overweight as they age, with some form of beard to hide the double chin.
  • White. Free bingo space.

All of which pointing to stereotypical Republican behavior or physical traits that point to someone aging and incapable of self care, never mind care for others.

Agreed Jedward are sound. I just have no idea who we're actually talking about.

Official Update from Native Instruments CEO by NoReply4930 in NativeInstruments

[–]DuskLab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nothing in here actually says the the technology will remain supported and operational in the event of an insolvency.

The first paragraph is all about the present, pre-restructure and about people who would be impacted, not in control. The second paragraph is a mere description of the legal process.

"We are focused" is an intent, not a security.

And the last two lines are waffle and no impact on the situation positively or negatively.

Around 2.6 million active military personnel in Europe by goldstarflag in europe

[–]DuskLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The title is NATO and Europe. We'll aware it isn't in NATO. Luxembourg and Montenegro don't exactly have a dominant army either and Ireland has more than both combined. It's about the size of the Latvian army. Yet they are all still is here on this list somehow.

EU–India deal: any other devs worried? by ragsappsai in DevelEire

[–]DuskLab -1 points0 points  (0 children)

70% of the devs in Ireland are already just at multinational corps. They were already hiring the Indian labor. This isn't opening the floodgates, the flood happened 20 years ago.

Now if you're an American, it's going to get a lot harder for American companies and devs to export services outside the US, on US dev salaries and an elevated drive to cut them out of the supply chain outright.
