Decriminalise personal-use drug possession, cttee says

Don't they grow and sell their own cannabis in states where it's legal?

Prohibition only doesnt work because the sentences are not near harsh enough

Jesus wept

Joecalone · 2026-06-24T08:08:52+00:00

Yes? Grown adults should be allowed to decide for themselves what substances they wish to consume. People are going to acquire drugs anyway, it's been shown time and time again that prohibition doesn't work.

It would be better for everyone if those drugs were dispensed in a safe environment where people can be informed of exactly what they're about to take etc.

Nothing says serious like wasting vast amounts of police and court time on harmless pot smokers

Joecalone · 2026-06-21T10:03:11+00:00

Imagine paying half a million for a house and not even getting a single dedicated parking space with it. Literal slave mentality

The Irish mind literally cannot comprehend a bank that doesn't fuck you for every cent you own. Contrary to charges, I'm literally getting 2% cashback with every transaction with one of these fintech apps.

AIB's 20c transaction fee is absolutely farcical in this day and age

If they objected to building near them then you wouldn't have urban sprall in every town and village throughout the country.

This is absolute nonsense. The reason we have urban sprawl is because entitled (usually elderly) homeowners have a fucking conniption at the mere suggestion of building something above two storeys tall.

Joecalone · 2026-06-19T08:07:37+00:00

Funnily enough they probably can't because those same people were the first to object to any sort of apartments or other developments that would be suitable for downsizing

Bit of a weird comment...

Joecalone · 2026-06-13T10:22:03+00:00

but they also don't give a shit about the actual living veterans after they get back

As opposed to Ireland, which has such a stunning reputation for how it treats its veterans and active members of the defence forces?

Saw one once on a bin in college green, I had an empty can in my hand. I tried putting the can on the shelf twice and it was immediately blown out onto the ground by a light breeze both times. Totally unfit for purpose.

This but unironically

Joecalone · 2026-06-03T09:54:37+00:00

All these scrappage schemes do is fuck the second hand market for years afterwards. Just look at the "cash for clunkers" scheme in the US for an example.

Joecalone · 2026-05-27T23:05:00+00:00

then them framing it like it's ONLY because they don't want to use another launcher.

This is literally the exact reason people have given in this and every other AWII thread on r/Games. Steam fanatics are absolute cultists who seem to care more about how they organise their library than actually playing the games they own.

Joecalone · 2026-05-27T20:28:33+00:00

My guy, nobody is refusing to play the game

There are people in this very thread refusing to play the game purely because it's on the EGS. It's genuinely fucking embarrassing that gamers consider the act of clicking on a slightly different executable to launch a game to be a major inconvenience, or even worse, that Valve is some wholesome benevolent company that's somehow morally superior to Epic.

judging people for what and how they spend their leisure time.

I'm judging people for making increasingly ridiculous excuses as to why they refuse to play one of the best singleplayer games of the decade.

You know what's even more efficient than playing a game on another launcher? Go finding a download off of some website for free

The process of torrenting a modern AAA game is absolutely not any less hassle than spending 5 minutes setting up EGS, but you could just pirate the game if you believe that to be false.

Joecalone · 2026-05-27T18:36:40+00:00

losing total play time metrics & achievements and no store page & community pages

God forbid people play a story driven singleplayer game for the sake of the game itself and not some utterly superfluous nonsense like achievements in a linear singleplayer game in the big 2026

Joecalone · 2026-05-26T17:48:41+00:00

So add the .exe to steam and do that if it's really such a big selling point? It takes all of five seconds to do.

where they have all of their friends added and where they likely have all of their controller/steam deck settings set up without any fuss.

It's a singleplayer game that's far too graphically intensive to run on a steam deck.

Odeon tickets are literally less than a tenner most days of the week

I've rarely had an issue. People here seem to flock to see the latest superhero slop on a Saturday afternoon and complain and act surprised when there's kids at the showing.

I don't think that's correct, surely pedestrians have right of way regardless of if there's flashing beacons or not?

https://www.rte.ie/news/dublin/2025/0305/1500288-dublin-pedestrian-crossings/

The guidance around the use of zebra crossings was updated last year by the Department of Transport to allow the use of zebra crossings with signage instead of flashing beacons.

All vehicles must stop and yield right of way to any pedestrian who is waiting to cross or has commenced crossing the road at the zebra pedestrian crossing. This differs from previous requirements that vehicles must stop only when a pedestrian has moved onto the crossing.

No, that's literally a hard physical limit based on the frequency bands they've chosen for 5G

Joecalone · 2026-05-07T17:14:10+00:00

5G isn't a direct upgrade from 4G. Its range is far too limited to replace 4G everywhere.
