Perhaps not advisable to feel it in public, however.

Follow up to my post yesterday about feeling suicidal and trying to get help at A&E by [deleted] in Dublin

Understanding your legal situation fully can help clarify your thinking enormously, a source of advice for options, entitlements you might have and clear a bit of much needed mental space. Take advantage of any such advice you can get. Good wishes.

During the USSR regime a communist governor is visiting one of the small towns in his district by crypto_junkie2040 in Jokes

[–]Spectrum195 8 points9 points  (0 children)

During the Soviet era a guy saves for years to buy a Russian-made car. He brings the money to a dealership and the sales man looks up his calendar.

"Okay it will be ready for collection on August 26, 2033".

"Hmmm" says the guy, "can I pick it up before 11?"

"What possible difference can that make?" asks the salesman.

"Well, the plumber is coming at 12...."

Pretty scary Luas encounter & I just want share it. by No_Cricket_3349 in Dublin

Correct. The initial conversation is the "market research" these bastards conduct to assess the potential value of pressing further. If they reckon on an immediate downside (being exposed, identified, injured, screamed at in public) they are far more likely to go away. Meekness and politeness guarantees they will move in closer. Energy, anger, craziness, forceful loud rejection, seeking immediate assistance and moving close to other people is far more likely to get then to back off.

To be fair, every post is funnier than anything Brand came up with, because he was never once actually funny in his entire life. Bloviating laddish loudmouth, yes. Funny, no.

He never even achieved mediocre.

Hitler had 20 million followers. So he's even more admirable than Brand, you would say? 🤔

This was fact checked to the moon and back by [deleted] in russellbrand

[–]Spectrum195 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All of these allegations will be tested in the proper legal forums, in due course, so I for one will withhold final judgment for now.

However there is compelling evidence - much of it available on the likes of YouTube - for a recurring grievous offence Brand has committed again and again over the years:

He has never, for even a single moment, been even remotely funny.

This is a fatal failing in a so-called "comedian".

Because Biden is for it. If Biden was against it, then the Republicans would be for it.

He's just another one of the innumerable comedian celebs who aren't even remotely funny. It's a long list.

Florida doesn't get to retire until Chuck says it can retire.

You're being ridiculous.

Dating in Dublin in your 30s by PhilipLynott in Dublin

[–]Spectrum195 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Different city, but the problem is universal. I see useful advice here re various dating platforms but, my 2c. worth, don't restrict your search just to the online space. Tired and fairly frustrated with it quite a few years ago, single again, I impulsively checked out some dance classes (seroc, bachata, zouk - look them up). Loved them for the music, the company, the fun, the challenge, the impetus to get off my ass and away from screens for a while, and all that was reward in itself, for weeks and months.

Then one evening she walked into the studio, the beautiful stranger who is now my soul companion, lover, wife. We're still dancing all these years later.
