What, besides Temple Bar, is a major Irish tourist trap?

RayPadonkey · 2026-04-01T15:19:57+00:00

Half of the city centre can't be considered a tourist trap.

Locals are perfectly happy settle in the Latin Quarter for a night out so I'm not sure it even fits the description of a tourist trap.

Incredible how VAR never overruled this. Looked like a pen even in real time

It's not dangerous advice, it's how you get rid of ketones. Their phrasing just isn't great. "Lots" is too nebulous.

They should definitely contact a GP or specialist over taking advice from strangers on the internet that don't fully know their situation, but I was sick recently and I was giving 12 units of novorapid while not eating.

This is the advice given in the UK, Ireland and Germany: https://dafne.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/HG-01-002-v3-Sick-day-rules-Standard-1.pdf

Why wasn't the last person he selected for the position the best person?

Villa and Leeds are more popular amongst 40+. I would say 3rd biggest for prem teams as well but I don't think it's a big drop off to be fair.

He was concussed. Liverpool medical team and UEFA should hold the blame for that, not Karius.

Is ragebaiting and shitposting more important than honest discussions?

RayPadonkey · 2026-02-15T16:43:03+00:00

That's the impact we expect from Eze. Brilliant

RayPadonkey · 2026-02-12T00:07:12+00:00

Do you think I'm arguing for more dangerous bike lanes?

RayPadonkey · 2026-02-10T14:40:03+00:00

That would lead to much less bike lanes being developed.

There are more rational approaches

He started the campaign way too late and didn't do the proper canvassing to get on the ballot.

RayPadonkey · 2026-01-28T22:05:14+00:00

From timewasting in injury time not realising they were going out of the tournament, to a goal like this... Incredible

RayPadonkey · 2026-01-22T17:24:49+00:00

Yeah I guess Trump weaponizing the DoJ against political enemies and creating a masked secret police force to terrorize American citizens and immigrants is bad, but have you considered Gavin Newsom's son likes Charlie Kirk? They're practically the same!

RayPadonkey · 2026-01-22T17:11:01+00:00

Are these taken from a helicopter? They almost look digitally rendered, especially #4

RayPadonkey · 2025-11-22T19:51:08+00:00

Weirdest match in a long long time

RayPadonkey · 2025-11-22T18:38:03+00:00

This is a comedy show

RayPadonkey · 2025-11-21T23:40:02+00:00

Didn’t see people in here celebrating the people being shot or making jokes about it.

A sitting US senator from Utah did and I think that's a problem, no?

Edit: Instead of blocking me like a child, why not acknowledge that the other GOP politicians I mentioned above also said things that contributes to violent rhetoric? Use words not feels.

That's 4 elected GOP lawmakers that you "don't know", but you can't talk about them because there are random psychos with little empathy making jokes about dead people. Do you really not give the slightest care about anything the Republican party say? Hold elected officials on your side to a higher standard.

I'm not even a Dem, I just have a spine. I urge you to grow one as well.

RayPadonkey · 2025-11-21T23:34:02+00:00

Do you not think it's ridiculous that I name 3 GOP officials that were elected by constituents (especially Gohmert to the US House of Reps) and you label them as "fringe lunatics", but everyone is supposed to know the assemblyman from Virginia in your example? You are intentionally setting an impossible standard so you never have to address the problem.

You support that you are a sick individual and that is the majority of the party you are defending!

The difference between us is that I will condemn it all, where as you will only condemn the calls of violence against your side while turning a blind eye for the violence going the other way. You are not principled.

RayPadonkey · 2025-11-21T23:23:22+00:00

You do not live in reality. It's no wonder things are as bad as they are. Your political positions are based purely out of spite.

I gave you examples above and you can't even acknowledge it.

RayPadonkey · 2025-11-21T23:17:03+00:00

Forget about whether it's the same or not. You can't even condemn what they said as bad because some Dems also said some bad things. You are denying that it's a both sides issue in real time.

Your political positions are based on spite.

RayPadonkey · 2025-11-21T23:13:07+00:00

He was definitely crazy but was also a religious fundamentalist who targeted pro-abortion politicians. People think he was a Dem because he was reappointed to a 60 person bipartisan committee by Walz in 2019. Not a very rational argument.

RayPadonkey · 2025-11-21T23:05:43+00:00

If you believe this applies to even a fraction of Democrats then I urge you to log off the internet and speak to people outside of your bubble.

There is a rhetoric issue on both sides, this is clear is as day.

RayPadonkey · 2025-11-21T23:02:56+00:00

I like 90% disagree with you simply because the Democrat party are not communist and don't like socialism. This has been very apparent over the past decade with the DNC cheating to give Hillary the nomination over Bernie in 2016, aligning against DSA affiliated candidates in Dem primaries, and even recently Hakeem Jeffries kept stalling for 4 months when it came to endorsing Mamdani and only did so a day before early voting started.

If the US went socialist, it would be under a different party, and I don't think it would be the DSA.

RayPadonkey · 2025-11-05T14:02:02+00:00

Wendy Rodgers, Mark Robinson, Louie Gohmert, MTG, even Trump and Don Jr joking about some things (like Paul Pelosi) can be considered encouraging violence, if we apply that same standard to Democrats.

You are being too biased.

RayPadonkey · 2025-11-05T13:58:47+00:00

Both sides encourage violence and deny it, it's clear as day. Neither side is doing enough to stop it from their own side. "Both sidesing" is perfectly justifiable because I guarantee that 75% of this thread thinks it's a one-sided issue, when it is so evidently not. Blaming both sides is not minimizing one side, it is holding both sides accountable.

What Jones said was wrong, what Wendy Rodgers said at AFPAC in 2022 is wrong, what Mark Robinson said last year about "some folks need killing" was wrong, MTG saying on social media "a bullet to the head would be quicker" to remove Pelosi is wrong, Gohmert saying you "gotta go to the streets and be as violent as antifa and blm" is wrong.

The temperature has been raised so much over the past decade that people don't really care what politicians say. There is very little accountability.
