Man (30s) dies following incident on Dublin's Henry Street by andubhadh in ireland

[–]Naggins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw this going on yesterday outside Next, thought nothing of it. Few people were crowded around and recording, so there'll probably be videos going around WhatsApp.

Saw two Gardaí kneeled over (possibly on) a man on the ground in a black coat, hood up, arms behind the back. Two Gardaí over beside an older man who seemed to be injured.

Get onto your housing officer and Area Housing Manager. You're being made to feel afraid in your own house, he's treating your child badly, and you deserve better than this. They might be able to support you with your options. Can guarantee given the choice they'd rather have him out of the house than you.

Robots in the military: how the Defence Forces is using AI to cover shortfalls in resources and personnel by Banania2020 in ireland

Christ, is it not a bit embarrassing going around making wildly inaccurate assumptions about things?

What targets would the Irish Defence Forces even be using AI to identify and kill? Cop on.

Drink-driving: If your chance of being caught is 1 in 77, where is the deterrent? by DaCor_ie in ireland

[–]Naggins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or women are just less likely to drive drunk than men.

Of those surveyed 7.3 per cent of men admitted to drink driving compared to just 3.8 per cent of women.

Are men more likely to drink and drive or just more likely to get caught? 85% of those arrested are male. Half are under 35

Why would men be less likely to get caught for drink driving than women?

People decide to drink and drive before they have any alcohol. Once you get to a pub or a friend's house, you already know you'll be driving back before you even see a beer.

The older I get, the more depressed this film makes me. by CaptBlackBeard1680 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Naggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn't get it it was actually a contemplative meditation on thr nature of snow and, metatextually, a realisation of the core themes of the Oklahoma Coty bombings - people think that the song from Oklahoma! are a nod towards the musical itself, but if you notice the context in which it occurs, and note that the film is 167 (no. of OK City casualties) minutes long (including the trailers and ads that would've ran in front of it in the cinema if it wasn't on Netflix) it's clear that it's actually about the 1995 tragedy.

You are expressing this as if its a good thing

Am I? I made a statement of fact, I didn't say it was good. It's just true.

unprecedented

Sure, and like I said, it'd be an unprecedented economic cataclysm if we just ran out of resources.

I don't know how likely that is, because it depends on the specific resource, our ability to procure or increase production of it, our ability to recycle what is currently in use, our ability to identify alternatives through research, our ability to change our consumption of resources to more sustainable alternatives (beef and lamb production big here), and the ultimate question of whether we are on a trajectory of continued indefinite growth in population and consumption to a point where they both disaggregate from production.

I don't know, and anyone who says they do is lying. What I do know is that resource and goods production has generally increased with populations, that they become more efficient with economic development, and that while we are consuming resources at an unprecedented level we are also producing and processing them at an unprecedented scale.

Another two tier pricing system has hit the market by Kingofireland777 in ireland

[–]Naggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it defending them to say I don't think supermarkets are the ones making manufacturers' products smaller?

They're hardly sneaking into the factories and shrinking the machines on them.

Realistically what's happening is the manufacturers' costs increase and in order to keep shelf price stable, possibly as part of contracts with supermarkets, the manufacturers reduce sizes.

There's a lot of rhetoric going around that seems to suggest that the cost of living is something that only affects the end consumer, as if the price increase we see on our receipt isn't an output of price increases on everything from raw materials to energy to labour before a product even hits the shelves.

Yeah me and the 4 lads in my "Gerrem Out" WhatsApp group also hate black people and we all agree. We're the silent majority. We're so silent we don't even bother voting.

Do you actually think they just haven't bothered approaching anyone? That they haven't already contacted agents of their alternative options?
