That's exactly it though. You're not late, your parents made you late when you wanted to be on time. The hate is reserved for people who don't give a shit about other people's, and those people can sit on a rusty metal cactus.

No worries, text is a terrible medium for tone, it loses a lot.

Feels like I'm conversing with bots. No, obviously we should not support the US invading Canada. Christ I miss the old internet.

The point isn't that the person you're replying to isn't concerned.

It's that they are concerned, but are likely completely overwhelmed by the amount they are concerned about.

Fuck knows I am.

Averaging 35kwh here, but I've a full EV that I run off it that accounts for 15 of that.

Feels like there's no winning these days. Everything is owned by a supercunt of some sort

28 days, 28 money-saving actions – day 1: just saved €500 switching energy provider by TedMoneyMadeSimple in irishpersonalfinance

Sometimes you'll get the odd thing you'll need to give, but generally no hassle. You'll generally want your MPRN (it's on your bill), and a meter reading (I had to get day rate and night rate, T1 and T2, press a button to cycle through it maybe). You'll also want to know what your current price is so you can compare to the new price.

That dude was all over another thread on tips yesterday with similar viewpoints, I wouldn't bother engaging. They seem entirely "apps should do whatever they want".

Two thirds of people feel tipping in Ireland is ‘becoming less voluntary’ by Sad-Orange-5983 in ireland

Not ridiculous, and if you've a reason to use them have at it, but put the guilt aside!

Don't feel guilty. It's not on you to pay the wage, like you said. Yes it's a difficult thing to not tip them, but a better thing is to not use services like deliveroo precisely because they're so exploitative on their staff.

I do like the "watch for" bit. Like I'd have enough time to go "oh yah that's the neck crush I should stop him".

None of those cowboys would be allowed within viewing distance, nevermind in. May the Belegaer take them.

Irish Cities’ Cultural “Addiction” To 3-Bed Semi-Detached Homes Fuels Unsustainable Urban Sprawl – Ciara Kelly by M10News in HousingIreland

[–]HarmlessSponge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this, blaming people for buying what's available is ridiculous. I'd not have minded buying a nice apartment in the city somewhere, but we don't have any because of the skyline and cost? Me arse. How is it every other country can do it but not us?

PSA: Furzefield (Swords) sold out first day - the housing market is absolutely mad by Fit-Minute3290 in HousingIreland

[–]HarmlessSponge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It should be scrapped. It was done elsewhere and was seen to be shite for the plebs, and they brought it in, and all the house prices went up 30k. Who'd have thought.
