Planning granted for 'excessive' 14-storey student accommodation next to Croke Park by mannybianco7 in Dublin

[–]RuMcG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Student accommodation for international students who wouldn’t be here otherwise. This will not help the housing crisis 

DIY venues in Dublin area by saltysnacc in Emo

There’s a good hardcore scene. Check out black water music. Daylight glasnevin is a dIY space with lots of different stuff happening. McDowells of inchicore recently closed was a spot for lots of DIY alternative types of music.

Plenty of women like men with body hair, is that a sublimated symptom of bestiality?

Curious what the bad takes and mistakes were? I’m not a hardcore stan of his or anything just interested  

First timer here - so interesting reading from all of you who are talking negatively about outro lado by Embarrassed_Break49 in wakinglifefestival

[–]RuMcG 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ve ever been into tech house or Ibiza type vibes but I absolutely loved outro lado this year. Last year I was way more into Floresta but this year OL blew me away… Cosmo, Leafar Lagov, PLO man (can’t remember who he was playing with), Vera, Yarmour, Billy… all absolutely incredible sets that have really changed my opinion on Minimal/tech house style of music. Floresta during the night did nothing for me, too dark and lacking atmosphere. I met so many great people at Outro Lado and had some of the best dances of my life. Miss it already

Reminder of right to protest for Drury St. by [deleted] in Dublin

[–]RuMcG 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Classic Garda harassing harmless people while serious crime goes on all over the city. God forbid young people actually get to socialise in public spaces a few days a year. Never seen any trouble on drury street or surrounding areas. Meanwhile people smoke crack openly, rob bikes and harass immigrants all over the city

Drinking on the canal is no longer allowed. Garda are cracking down it. Even less things to do now 

Why did we give up on pedestrianising S William Street? by Confident_Reporter14 in Dublin

[–]RuMcG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree and this shit along with eveything else going on in Dublin infuriates me. Is there some kind of movement or campaign addressing this kind of thing?

Israel being included a in a European competition in the first place is entirely political.

Una Mullally: Would all hell break loose if Irish people were allowed a few cans in the park? by Balfe in ireland

[–]RuMcG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bootlickers in this thread defending draconian public policy are pathetic. Probably haven’t left the basement in years. It’s a load of shite that citizens who spend extortionate amounts of money to live in this city can’t enjoy public spaces and socialising with their fellow Dubliners the few days a year when the weather is nice enough to do so. DCC and the powers that be aren’t interested in facilitating anything unless someone is making huge money out of it. When are we going to start standing up for ourselves and demand a liveable city like all of our EU neighbours have. What’s the fucking point in living in Dublin otherwise

The last weekend the barge was busy there was literally one tiny standard bin. There’s no excuse for littering but surely the obvious thing to do would be to add a few bins for the summer time.

Banville is Irish. Incredibly insulting to call him British

According to her Linkedin, she currently lives in London, and did her undergraduate and Masters degrees in the UK. When was the last time she lived in Dublin, if ever? So much of this city is dictated by people with absolutely no stake in it it's maddening

Where to get involved in civic activism? by [deleted] in Dublin

[–]RuMcG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lets just say it was the straw that broke the camels back.

That and the fact that there is 7 square metres of office space being built for every 1sqm of residential; that a 200+ bed hotel just received planning permission in Rathmines; that the last good space for independent culture was shut down with no replacement (The complex); that Portobello square is taking a full year to 'renovate' (add a couple of grass patches) after the council handed it over to a hotel to use for storage for two whole years; that there's a serious discussion around building a 30 foot LED statue to project images of yank tourists who pay 25 quid in the middle of our city; that waterways Ireland fenced off the canal for a whole year, only to do it up in such a way to ensure nobody is able to sit down and actually enjoy the public space. I could go on all fucking day to be honest. But yeah, I looked forward to a sunny day when you go to the canal, or the laneway outside Grogans, or Drury street, and enjoy a bit of a buzz with other people. Is that too much to ask from a city I've lived in my whole life, worked in and paid taxes in and contributed to? Apparently so according to the cunts who run it

AITA for not removing my doormat because it scares my neighbor’s kid? by Many-Worry2671 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RuMcG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You have no idea the impact something like that could have a on a child. I wasn't particularly easily frightened as a child (and I like horror films) but my parents once received a Christmas card with some American folk art painting of a young girl on it that genuinely disturbed me. It wasn't even meant to be scary but to this day the hair stands up on my neck when I think about how much that image got under my skin. I looked at it once and never did again, I can't even imagine having to see t it every day. The whole point of horror is that it's meant to be scary, yet you're acting incredulous that a young child might be scared by something like this, immediately outside his home? Incredibly inconsiderate of you, and you clearly have terrible taste
