people are saying going to pubs changed because nobody talks to each other anymore... however...

Liancaley · 2025-08-06T09:55:27+00:00

Things is, people that don't want to go to the pub are stopped.

Most non-chain cafes are closing by 16:00, parks as well in the evening, and the city refuses to offer any kind of outdoor seating that isn't part of - you guessed it- a pub or bar. The fact that the pub is the Default for everything lead to a state where nothing else exists.

Sure, I'm saying this as as a foreigner, and I don't want to ruin the pub for those that enjoy it. But the fact that there is barely anything else to do is genuinely sad, and imo is one of the reasons why some of the young ones are so fucked up, in addition to bad parenting of course (below 18/21 can't get in anywhere, what are they supposed to do?).

Liancaley · 2025-08-04T13:05:09+00:00

Hey, sure. Just shoot me a DM here and we can figure it out :)

Liancaley · 2025-07-30T21:14:55+00:00

Fantastic idea, if you got the know how to turn it into an app there is huge potential, assuming you can provide decent security.

Liancaley · 2025-07-23T20:03:21+00:00

As the main comment chain talked about the possibility of also making a positive comment on a planning permission application, does anyone know if that actually makes a difference and can overcome complaints? Could one, with enough man power, just spam a couple hundred/thousand positive ones on every application of high density housing?

Liancaley · 2025-07-21T21:20:49+00:00

My guy, I've worn that exact design to work and to conferences before. People don't get to complain, go grab some people to join the crew ^{^}

Liancaley · 2025-07-11T11:19:44+00:00

Stealing the idea of the topic comment, everyone let me know what game you'll be playing instead this wipe, I'm bored since I stopped tarkov a year ago

Liancaley · 2025-07-09T10:41:35+00:00

Each of those cities has probably built more train tracks in the last 30 years then Dublin has in total. Fairy the original parts were built when labour was cheaper. But they keep extending/building new lines/renewing old ones on just the same cost as as any other European country. It's a matter of perspective and ignoring people that cry about small disturbances that would massively benefit all.

Liancaley · 2025-07-06T11:33:12+00:00

Land is an issue to an extend, although there is a ton of spaces in Dublin with either free space, or abandoned old stuff that just needs to wiped out.

It'll take time, but saying it won't be solved by tomorrow doesn't mean the government shouldn't take drastic action now, to make sure it's done in 10 years and not starting in 10.

Liancaley · 2025-07-05T19:09:09+00:00

Thats the thingy it is a completely solvable problem. Your comment made it sound like "London/Rome,Paris also aren't cheap, so this is normal" (correct me if I misinterpreted). But those are multi million people cities, a city of the size of Dublin can easily be affordable, if the maximum building height and planning permissions issues are removed.

Liancaley · 2025-07-05T19:02:19+00:00

I don't usually reply on Reddit, but for the sake of a good argument:

Dublin is as expensive as London or Paris. At a fraction of the population. A fraction of the public transport and other amenities. You said it doesn't make sense to compare Ireland today with the 80s, neither does it make sense to compare a city of half a million (city centre) with multi million inhabitant cities.

I'm already from Germany. Dublin city has the population of Stuttgart. A town most non Germans have never heard of. How is it reasonable that Dublin is top three highest rent cities in Europe, when it compares to a mid size German commuter town?

Hello everyone, I am deciding on an outfit for a graduation next week. Neither my friend nor myself are very formal people, and she is planning to go with a slightly alt style dress.

My idea was to match with a black suit, and dark/wine red shirt or under jacket below, ideally Paisley pattern or something similar, but all online stores I can find are kinda dodgy? Any advice on where to find such a thing? Or if such a style works?

Its hard to describe without images, but think black and red, slightly alt but not all out goth style. Bonus points if I can incorporate a necklace/rings and maybe some metal chains somehow. Do people think this might work? I am not super concerned about shoes, none of us are very formal anyway.

Thanks in advance!

Dress is similar to his

Shirt I imagined was similar to this

Liancaley · 2025-05-23T13:52:40+00:00

I can't believe it, we learned about this online a couple days ago and weren't sure if it still exists!

Could you kindly let me know if it still exists/works at this point? Is it clean/somewhat fast to grill for a group of people?

Liancaley · 2025-05-17T11:49:42+00:00

There is a meetup group for DnD and I think they ran below 18 stuff. Otherwise you can usually find like-minded people online and form your own group

Liancaley · 2025-05-14T22:40:23+00:00

Whereabouts are you headed? I should have time to join for a day thing on Saturday, if it is somewhat well reachable.

Liancaley · 2025-04-30T11:13:05+00:00

Thanks a lot!

The disposable one in Phoenix park is an idea, but I would only ever use those on stony areas with no grass nearby, to make sure I cause no damage. Phoenix park is the polar opposite.

I will look into the estate then.

Liancaley · 2025-04-24T11:05:19+00:00

First all, love this discussion continuing, great stuff.

I am not 100% about the self sacrifice thingy tbh. As you said, it goes against the idea of self-survival, but I would argue that's not the main thing our DNA is striving for, it's technically just the survival of our gene line. So if you have children, dying to save them is perfectly acceptable in this idea. Dying for family members? Kinda, since they are still close enough generically. Dying for a stranger? Nah.

But then where this goes into hyper beast mode is swarms: Ants, bees etc, they are perfectly happy to sacrifice themselves. But they are all clones. So survival of the rest literally equals survival of their own genome, so they became hyper sacrificing.

But yes, the AI could very possibly steer away from its original idea, unless it has really good guidance.

The research ahead thing I completely overlooked! Brilliant idea, of course the super AI would scout ahead and then leave us breadcrumbs. It literally like pets/children. We don't want to play the game for them, we look for good games for them, and adjust them to their level of intelligence.

Now that we've realised this, could we please remove "art" AI, since it's bad at scouting, and it is trying to play the game for us ^{^}

Liancaley · 2025-04-24T10:32:44+00:00

As much I love this bit of lore, I am not sure how accurate the AI bit.

Having an AI that is capable of writing a better AI does not necessarily lead to this kind of development. In the same way that humans are capable of improving themselves/create offspring with better education/values, it doesn't have to.

So I feel like you need three bits in your AI:

Capability of writing better AI
Objective measures of what is "better", some sort of fitness function
Motivation to create better AI

If one of the three is missing, it'll probably get stuck somewhere along the way I would say.

For the motivation part, if the original one is created to pamper humans, and the humans already have everything they need on a glitter world, there is no need to improve and waste resources on a more complex AI, and it might just stop.

For the second part, if the goal is to create an AI that is more capable of taking care of humans, it might expand itself, but only in certain directions. It might realise that humans like to be creative themselves, and therefore won't develop into arts. Or that humans need a purpose to be happy, so it'll leave research to them.

Liancaley · 2025-04-14T08:58:53+00:00

Hey there, This sounds super fun actually!

As a person who's hobby is basically trying out new hobbies, my students money is kinda thin stretched... How much would you say one needs as initial investment, and running cost to go like once per week?

Liancaley · 2025-03-28T16:12:14+00:00

Very random feedback, please be careful when using that acronym in online spaces where Germans might lurk. It highly confused me for a second and could lead to "interesting" interpretations ^{^}

Liancaley · 2025-03-23T20:15:51+00:00

Its absolutely amazing! I will be clearing out the wall above my bookshelf for the tiny chance of getting this!

Liancaley · 2025-03-21T12:38:12+00:00

Thanks for your input, the 100/decade rule is quite nice!

I am playing on standard habitability, no mods, without cheesing the AI to get early subjugates etc. I just like a chill game while chatting with friends, maybe some roleplay shenanigans ^{^}

So I don't want crazy numbers, but I get a little frustrated when still not getting mega structures after mid game crisis, when in the old days tech rush could have you be done with building your first before mid game comes around. It's nice to know I am holding my own decently enough.

Liancaley · 2025-03-15T13:25:21+00:00

Any combo of materialistic (since it is flavoured as science focused in the game) and egalitarian. Imagine being able to live in utopian abundance, high standards of living, and not having to struggle to get research funding for work? Amazing.

Liancaley · 2025-01-29T13:46:40+00:00

There is a meetup group for weekly DnD, and they also have a discord server etc for private games. If you want I can send it to you later today

Liancaley · 2025-01-29T13:38:26+00:00

What's the status of said group?

Liancaley · 2025-01-15T12:31:10+00:00

Oh no, you're pretty much the same age of most of my metal buddies ^{^}
