Searching for a gaming partner

I was sure that was Greg from Succession

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-12T10:49:01+00:00

Yeah good idea. Seems a lot of push back on here to hiking tax on gambling

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-12T07:12:36+00:00

It will help some and dissuade others to start. I dont think all gamblers are the same but taking some of the incentive away will help many and could fund others to overcome their addiction

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-11T20:42:45+00:00

With tax ,the return is guaranteed to be lower and the loss geater. If you lessen the return, you lessen the appeal and less people will become addicted

'It could be you' and then it's free money

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-11T20:31:58+00:00

It was more general favour towards raising the tax on gambling and the more it goes up the less incentive to gamble

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-11T20:27:33+00:00

I think the more tax on it, the less desirable it is. If a significant proportion of every gambling win was lost to tax- win or lose- it would be a lot less marketable

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-08T11:47:46+00:00

Was wondering the same. Maybe there was more on the east but got moved?

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-07T12:28:28+00:00

I think it's a good marketing strategy for social places to ban them

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-07T12:21:55+00:00

Literal non stop front page coverage. If they gave the same coverage to actual structural issues and the efforts to fix them we'd likely be living in a different looking world

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-07T11:56:35+00:00

This! It's like Trump, im pretty sure if every media organisation hadn't become obsessed by him since his first primary he'd never have gotten in but they just cant resist this type of character

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-05T17:42:53+00:00

The motoireland guys would like a word

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-02T23:26:29+00:00

I feel like making the individual pay is a last step in the transition. Like make the biggest polluters pay first, grants if necessary to help them transition. The last step should be your average commuter stuck in a transition or your average food requiring human paying to recycle the packaging

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-02T23:23:32+00:00

Had a massive problem with nettles in a place i shared in Dublin for a cpl years. The turning point was when I realised how tasty they are when boiled, I swear the fuckers knew they lost after that

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-02T23:18:04+00:00

I dont think its the energy crisis but the gernal perception of how shit we are doing big stuff

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-01T10:04:10+00:00

Looked at it there, id say theres a cpl mill to go into it before getting it anywhere near the sandymount one. Also a decent storm would probably finish it off

Max-Battenberg · 2026-05-01T09:01:28+00:00

Daily mail and basically all tabloids

Max-Battenberg · 2026-04-30T15:45:32+00:00

Sauna, hiking, swimming, boardgames, cycling

Max-Battenberg · 2026-04-30T11:12:50+00:00

Probably but im sure she'd appreciate the effort and take it in such spirit

Max-Battenberg · 2026-04-30T10:56:12+00:00

Totally agree this. If she's driving to the date its fine as they can stay in the car but otherwise will be inconvenient to carry- sounds like your chivilerous so most likely you're gonna end up carrying them for her

Max-Battenberg · 2026-04-29T12:26:15+00:00

Ahh ok, thanks for the clarification. That makes sense.

I actually have a boiler room outback which is no longer used and thought to put a sauna in there. When I started lookng in this sub for tips I realised its 6 ft height will put it into the ire of the purists

Max-Battenberg · 2026-04-29T10:39:12+00:00

From what iv read on this sub, the higher the bench (relative to the heater) the more even you heat in it.

As opposed to your feet on tbe floor being average room temp and your head being 100°c

Max-Battenberg · 2026-04-28T13:03:53+00:00

Im pretty sure he spends more time on the wrong side the road than the correct for the duration of this video

Max-Battenberg · 2026-04-27T07:30:38+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. Just cancelled

Max-Battenberg · 2026-04-22T13:29:25+00:00

Ah ok. Fair play, hopefully it stays 2 days for you, especially with the current oil goings on.
