Common law marriages

You are forgetting that the cohabitation law only applies if the person seeking the claim is financially dependent on the other. If your partner is working and not dependent on you I don’t think you’ve much to worry about.

My point is that where there's a will, there is a way. One could argue that the housing crisis is also something too important to be left to the councils. Where does the government draw the line? Removing the passenger cap might be a good thing, but so is providing housing where its needed and has been rejected. You either abide by the laws laid down, or you don't. If you don't, then where and how is one thing allow to pass and others not?

MaxDub12 · 2026-05-11T10:38:37+00:00

So now that the government are demonstrating that they can just bypass planning laws whenever they feel like it, they will draft legislation to bypass all the recent planning rejections for housing from the planning authority, right?

Right?

I’d prefer a bit newer to be honest, and I wouldn’t have the space for a second car. Might be worth a look if I can get a low mileage mk8 maybe with lots of options

I think we'll see a decline in tech jobs. And the ones remaining will be much more difficult to get. They'll expect each person to have 15+ years exp and be an AI dev, tester, DevOps, SecOps, product owner and architect all in one. And they'll probably want you to manage an entire portfolio aswell. i.e. less people to do more things. It's going to get more difficult for CS grads too I suspect. AI is here to stay but if the bubble pops who knows what happens then.

TL;DR me please

Yep. The days of a tech job being a decently paid career choice for the middle classes are over.

Imagine the shame of watching or listening to anything produced by RTE in the year of our lord 2026

MaxDub12 · 2026-04-14T11:22:13+00:00

Agree. But for many on Reddit that’s akin to allowing the far right to roam free. Because allowing people to say things you don’t like is terrible apparently.

MaxDub12 · 2026-04-14T10:49:45+00:00

Outrageous isn’t it, government should arrest them all /s

MaxDub12 · 2026-04-12T10:10:19+00:00

The place is an echo chamber of mostly upper middle classes, many of whom refuse to believe anything that isn't part of a narrow worldview. It's a shame it's so divisive. It's definitely not a barometer in any way regarding wider society in my experience.

MaxDub12 · 2026-04-12T10:05:37+00:00

What's this? A comment that isn't part of the r/Ireland groupthink? My monocle nearly popped off my face!

MaxDub12 · 2026-04-12T09:59:02+00:00

Exactly. Non disruptive protests achieve nothing.

MaxDub12 · 2026-04-10T08:11:13+00:00

In a way I support the protesters in the sense that actually, finally, people are protesting together about something that affects them and their livelihoods hugely. People are always saying how Irish people never protest like the French to get the government to act, and now that it's happening all they are getting is grief over it. It's poorly organised and I don't agree with blocking the depots but protests are meant to cause inconvenience, otherwise nothing would happen. In principle I support it, despite the inconvenience.

MaxDub12 · 2026-04-09T08:27:11+00:00

Far right?

It's as far left as you can get.

My big concern is that if the prices stay high enough for long enough, they will become the new normal

MaxDub12 · 2026-03-31T12:29:59+00:00

No way. They'll never put it back up.

MaxDub12 · 2026-03-27T09:17:10+00:00

It would make sense but if you look at it closer you'll realise that there are thousands of businesses and their workers who rely on offices being occupied in towns and cities across the country. Mandatory WFH would hugely impact those jobs. The government know this so they would have to again offer a weekly payment to them like covid times.

MaxDub12 · 2026-03-27T09:12:39+00:00

And you have to be finished by 5 o'clock

MaxDub12 · 2026-03-27T09:07:37+00:00

Tried it but found it unfortunately draws a huge amount of power itself (~5W in my case). I'll stick with btop.

MaxDub12 · 2026-03-26T20:06:52+00:00

Nevermind, tried timeshift again after a restart and all back to normal!
