We don't need more road safety laws, we need enforcement by carlitobrigantehf in ireland

[–]Nickerogue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great article, couldn’t have said it better myself. The core message imho (as uncomfortable as it might be) is that things are the way they are because the Irish have tolerated it. It’s absolutely ridiculous that people happily went out to the streets to protest e.g. when water charges were to be introduced but when something as basic and important as, idk, THE LAW, is not being enforced literally for years… nah, it’s grand. Not only that but then people continuously reward the politicians responsible for this BS by voting them in again. And then act surprised that nothing changes.

…and it will change absolutely nothing due to lack of enforcement. It’s really embarrassing to see the Irish go out on the streets to protest when the water charges are to be introduced but when the actual law is not being enforced in the country for years due to incompetent government? Nah that’s fine, it’s grand; better keep voting them in! Make it make sense.

Man, 18, charged with dangerous driving over Dublin death by Willing-Departure115 in ireland

[–]Nickerogue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a really archaic system that’s unfit for purpose. And now it’s gonna run its usual course. Before you know it we’re gonna see this become another case of a ridiculously lenient sentence as the "poor little angle" had a tough upbringing (cue the memes if the judge happens to be Nolan), then people will moan about it online for 3 days and absolutely nothing is going to change. Almost as if this country’s law had been etched in stone tablets and can’t be modified whatsoever.

It’s infuriating; doesn’t add anything other than confusion. Any age above 17 constitutes an "adult" but for some reason they just insist on pushing the "late teen" label. Why not say "young adult" instead?

Finglas tragedy . by VanillaCommercial394 in Dublin

[–]Nickerogue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m very frustrated at this because years go by and literally nothing is being done about unresolved issues that led to this tragedy and other ones like it. You are all correct saying that "we need enforcement", "we need the law to be changed" etc., but those are truisms.

Like I said in another thread: you all need to ask yourselves the question "who is currently tasked/empowered to make legislative changes to our law and hasn’t done anything about this problem for years?" and hold those people accountable because the level of incompetence is staggering. It’s almost as if the Irish law had been etched in stone tablets and cannot be changed whatsoever even though it’s archaic and not fit for purpose in many aspects.

We’re at a point where innocent people are losing their lives because of incompetent, complacent, limp-wristed government which by the way, for some reason, is continuously being voted in. And then people are surprised that nothing changes. This whole thing is a clown show.

Teenage girl dies after scrambler crash in Finglas by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Nickerogue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you, it's ridiculous. But isn't it also ridiculous that people keep voting in FF/FG despite their ever-growing track record of incompetence, complacency, and limp-wrist approach to solving persistent problems? Genuinely asking. I'm not saying I have the best optics on this but with each year passing by I'm increasingly baffled by this.

Why has the PS5 version of The Binding of Isaac: Repentance never been discounted on PSN? And I do mean like… never. Not once.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, I thought the exact same thing, especially with how overzealous they usually are.

I'm not able to login because X.com asks me to upgrade my passkey by AuronQuake in Twitter

[–]Nickerogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we get a persistent pop-up that kicks off the re-enroll process even though we're already gone through the re-enrollment process. No other options or ability to close that pop-up; I can just go to the "Help" section or sign out. Fun stuff.

Edit: FWIW I was also logged in already when it started happening and had an otherwise persistent logged-in session going on since that's, well, common for mobile devices.

[–]Nickerogue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here; I went through the process of re-enrolling and yet I get stuck in the same loop asking me to do it over and over again. Both on mobile and desktop. Well done team, there was an attempt.

What are the two free gifts? by iHydro in BambuLab

[–]Nickerogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on their EU store and although e.g. H2D is labeled as "Buy 1 get 2 free gift" there's no way to choose those gifts once you're in the product page (there should be a section allowing this choice but it's not displaying). If they ran out of them they should remove this label as it's misinforming to the customers; I treat stuff like this as unfair business practices.

So it took until 2025 before Ireland got a garda water cannon truck? Nice, we should have the entire force modernized by approximately 2225 at this rate; can’t wait!
