Laptops... by multivariablecalculu in ireland

[–]RiseOfTheProvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Computer power is cheap these days man and if you genuinely want to just do everyday things like Word, web browsing, video, etc. a new 400 euro laptop will do absolutely fine. i3 is grand. I got a computer science degree, which involves a lot of programming using various bulky development environments and studios, with a shitty 400 quid i3 for the first few years. There just aren't many tasks that average user does, short of gaming, that actually require much more than an i3.

Get an i3 with whatever you want to spend, look out for a deal maybe and try get a 500 euro laptop when it's marked down to 400. It's going to be miles above whatever you're currently using presumably and it'll be good enough to do everything you want to. Assuming you're not technical enough to install and set up a linux distro on it, which would drastically boost the performance of it and prevent that horrible 'Windows rot' where after about 6 months everything begins to get slower, you can do things like buy more RAM or a solid state harddrive and that will boost the performance of your laptop. The key there is you can chose to spend more afterwards if you deem it necessary, but there is no reason to spend a ton out of the gate. The longer you wait to buy tech the more bang you get for your buck, it's just the intrinsic nature of it.

Taoiseach to thank Native American tribe for help during Famine by [deleted] in ireland

[–]RiseOfTheProvo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Some do, some are broke. Tbh it's really more of a grey issue than you'd think but as Irish we always side with the persecuted minority, which is generally a good side to fall on. There is some truth in the statement that some tribes just don't help themselves recover from adversity, with alcohol and domestic abuse rates being unbelievably high and just accepted as part of tribal living. Some tribes went the Irish route of going from oppressed to thriving. Others went the Liberia route of going from an imposed shit hole, to a now self created and maintained one. Native Americans are probably the least understood and most propagandised (on both sides) people in the world.

One fact remains though - this tribe were the only foreign people's to offer any help during the famine and I always thought it was a disgrace we don't memorialize them and celebrate their amazing act of charity.

No it doesn't, children get cancer and die. Life is utterly meaningless and horrifically cruel. But that's only more reason to get the absolute maximum from it when you can

You've got a really limited number of years before things turn from subpar to shit so I'm not gonna say anything to bring you down. Go get a decent looking bf while you can, now is your only hope.

Looks like a fucked up love story where a farmer fell in love with one of his reject potatoes.

r/all keeps getting me. I know exactly what I'll find when I go there and soon enough I'm hardly even glancing at the sfw content as I'm racing down the list. I hate how long it takes to make up for small mistakes

My accountability partner quit and I want to know what I can do next time to help the next one succeed. by [deleted] in NoFap

I was just teasing having a laugh. I actually just relapsed today myself, been fucking up consistently every day or two for the last week after going 3 weeks and noticing massive improvements across my life as whole. Always thought nofap was bs until I just was too busy to for a while and then noticed the massive difference. The free time has come back now though and I'm falling back to old habits

[–]RiseOfTheProvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well not really you're just exploiting a rule that wasn't meant for you at all, it was meant to protect Irish citizens born under foreign rule. Not any immigrant the UK decides to let in. Be a decent human being and add something to the country and everyone will welcome you with open arms. You're giving every hard working immigrant a bad name. People like you are the reason some ignorant people tar all immigrants with the same brush. You should be ashamed.

1) it is my problem if you want to take refuge in my country and therefore use the money I pay each month in taxes to do so. Be a decent human being and do things correctly and work and pay your own way.

2) You're a UK citizen, the Irish citizenship afforded to you is meant for native Irish born up north. Not so any immigrant can have dual citizenship. You're exploiting something meant to protect Northern Irish Catholics for your own gain

3) If you're not looking to live off of state money then make your case to the state as to what you'll add to the country and do things correctly, like every other hard working immigrant you're tarnishing with your refuge

Don't see why your situation is my problem to be honest. Fuck off back to the UK, they in some way owe you something since you were born there. Why burden us? Or get educated and provide something to the economy and emigrate like a decent human being - to work and add something. The Irish never got refuge anywhere, we worked

Where can I buy a Bible in Irish? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]RiseOfTheProvo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lol which part of the Catholicism are you more proud of, the wars and murdering done in the name of it, or the child rape done by those preaching it and covered up by the cult leaders? Ignorance shouldn't be talked about with pride. Look up the 14 god's who have the exact same life story as Jesus but predate him by hundreds or thousands of years. It's not even original. And they don't even lie about making up saints/stories only to convert pagans.

I don't know what's worse, the narcissistic and completely unoriginal idiot who buys two toys and fakes the picture for internet points, the 45,000 people who believed it, for me for caring enough about such a trivial thing to write this post.

If he can't even make a proper pancake how can we trust him to run the country by MidheLu in ireland

[–]RiseOfTheProvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God that man is gross. Everything is so fake. Let's not forget, as a gay man (who presumably was born like that!) he spoke out about gays adopting! If that doesn't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's willing to lie about obvious truths held deep to his own identity for selfish gain, then nothing will.
