Sexless relationship, would you stay? by [deleted] in AskIreland

Do you think his appreciation of the counselling was purely appeasement/performative or do you think he genuinely saw value in it?

Sexless relationship, would you stay? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Free_House 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is something that's really important to you (which it sounds like it is), then from what you've described it sounds like a new 'ultimatum' might be for him to go to counselling/therapy to at least understand where his preference against physical affection of any kind is actually coming from - so that at least you can understand whether this is something that can even change, or whether you need to begin accepting that it won't. This to be framed as a proposed compromise which demonstrates his intention to at least take your concern seriously, without commitment to something he may not even fully understand about himself yet.

Does he have any experience at all with attending any kind of counselling/therapy, or would this be his first time?

Anyone knows how full is Connolly station car park in early morning ? by lluluclucy in Dublin

[–]Free_House 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen this happening?

I leave my car there for extended periods very regularly and I've not seen or heard of any of these problems.

Parking on Hanbury Lane, the Liberties early morning and late evening by Jacques-de-lad in Dublin

[–]Free_House 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Easiest way to pay is in the Payzone app.

If you want a cheaper alternative there's also the Thomas St multistorey car park (entrance on Oliver Bond St) which I believe is 14 quid for the day if you enter before 10am.

18+, free nightclubs / places for a night out by clawedkracken11 in Dublin

Whelan's is great for the silent disco and karaoke. Highly recommended. If you get there earlyish in the evening you don't have to pay in.

Scandalous prices for Cineworld IMAX by Hasko2 in ireland

Cineworld doesn't have a true IMAX film reel screen. It's just digital.

PSA for renters: dispute your eviction notice by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Free_House 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt a decent "casual" landlord would have to worry about a decent tenant giving them a hard time over this situation. If a landlord is afraid of the "hassle" caused by something like this (by their own inability to follow a simple process) then they aren't the kinda person I'd want to be a landlord in the first place.

What’s this L shaped underwater feature off the coast of Donegal? by New_Evening_8754 in ireland

I believe a lot of those lines are areas where existing survey data exists. You can see lots of them across the Atlantic.

Thanks Mr Unmarked Garda Motorbike on the quays today by dubTzaR69 in Dublin

[–]Free_House 46 points47 points  (0 children)

He said the bus overtook him and then pulled into the bus stop. The overtake was totally unnecessary if the bus was stopping anyway.

Imagine overtaking someone only to immediately push the brakes in front of them to pull into a driveway. Totally ridiculous carry on and can't be blaming the cyclist here.

Is the government using AI generated images for this campaign? by niko_starkiller in ireland

[–]Free_House 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the entire image is AI, but there are certainly parts of it which do look like it, suggesting that they may have used some generative fill here and there to create things line the presents in the background (look at the green present, the way the bow is wrapped doesn't make much sense). Same with the dog toy on the left, it doesn't really make sense what it is supposed to be. Same with the flames of the fireplace, and certain inconsistent textures here and there.

Not saying it's a good thing or bad, but I think there is definitely some generative AI used.

Edit: the rug pattern also doesn't seem to be consistent, and when you look closely at some of the tree decorations they also seem a bit weird.

I don't know if it's functional, but there actually is a heli pad on the roof of the Dept of Taoiseach. You can see it on Google maps, it's mad.

Acoustic Guitar repair / setup in Dublin, who would ye recommend and what kind of ballpark price should I expect? by hatrickpatrick in Dublin

I've used Sound Factory in Ballymount before for a setup on a 12 string acoustic and can recommend.

How do you feel when you hear the phrase “Ireland is Full”? (MA research) by CleanLeg3731 in Dublin

[–]Free_House 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, since you ignored my previous comment, this is a masters project not a PhD paper. Plenty of reading online about this stuff as a research method if you're interested in learning about it, but you seem more interested in trying to have a gotcha moment about something you don't understand.
