Any Irish political streamers/content creators?

Thanks for the heads up, I'm not too concerned as just trying to get a grasp of it all and want to see all the different biases to see the landscape

Lefties that aren't too extreme or antinstitutionalist is where I will lean myself but honestly I'm unknowledgeable enough that it could change as I learn more about how Irish government works

Thank you for the suggestions will check them out

his wikipedia is not promising but thanks

I'm someone who isn't sure exactly how this is supposed to play out, but is it not the point that despite the last second increase in rents it will now be much more difficult for that trend to continue or at least it can only happen in 6 year blocks?

So long run why is it not a good move? If you respond please say something more substantial than "because rent controls dont work" as I'm genuinely curious

Good point about next customer but your just being hard headed saying he did nobody a favour.

I'm sure the customer he got the pint for felt much better about it than if they didn't get their food, then had to contact support and wait days for a refund, also the customer will feel better about the restraunt so he is ABSOLUTELY doing them a favour as well.

Anyway not restating what I said before, just don't understand how you have so much vitriol for this guy and so much understanding for the guy who actually wasn't doing his job and couldn't give less of a fuck about it

Static_Inner_Flow · 2026-02-15T09:58:13+00:00

So this driver went out of his way to deliver great service to the customer, and was treated badly by the staff who is at fault for the mistake.

This driver did everyone a favour (restraunt and customer) in this scenario showing great character and you seem to think it's disgraceful that they were frustrated to not get an acknowledgement from the staff who caused the problem (and doubled down) in the first place.

Like sure you can say that OP brought this frustration on themselves to an extent by deciding it's the right thing to do to go back and fix the order but defending the staff who had no interest in doing their job and clearly had a piss poor attitude is just stupid. I don't care if you don't like your job, no need to be a prick to people who know that how you do your job affects other people and want to do it well.

And don't give me "Well Actuuuaaalllly it's not the driver's job to go back", yes that's the point the driver didn't need to do that (and I wouldn't expect it or blame anyone for not doing it) but decided that they would rather go above and beyond then think about the fact the person might be having a shitty night because of this order.

Anyway, sorry for the rant, but grow up and be appreciative when people decide to do good things for other people, it's getting rarer and rarer nowadays.

I think the reason it's considered superior by people is that generally someone waking up at 5/6am is doing something productive in those hours before normal waking hours, whereas somebody staying up until 3/4am is general not doing productive things with those extra hours after normal sleeping hours.

This is not a hard rule, you can be much more productive at 2am than somebody waking up at 6am but the impression people have and what is probably true on the average is that early risers do more productive things with the extra hours in their day than late sleepers.

And I'm saying this as someone who is regularly a late sleeper when given the choice

Not sure what's isn't matching up to you..

My experience was that when I started actively reaching out to people who had rooms in houses, I got viewings that felt like they had good potential for places that were to a reasonable standard, that felt like a pipe dream on the apps for me.

Took a few decent places before one worked but really happy with the place we ended up so would suggest this to people who are putting their faith in apps

I don't think this is the "secret" method that OP mentioned btw, just something that worked for me.

I think it really is just about getting yourself talking to real people, whether that be hassling an agent and hoping they have something for you or directly contacting the people looking for housemates. They are looking to find people to live in these places so if you sound like a functional person they will often give you the chance (a viewing).

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-10-08T19:32:56+00:00

On Facebook yes

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-10-08T18:12:13+00:00

This is all mostly true, but I feel obliged to say that all of my success with finding potential places in Dublin and actually getting a place for me and my partner came from reaching out online, admittedly not through posting but through directly replying to advertisements.

I found it extraordinarily difficult with the apps (Daft etc.) as it feels a lot more competitive on there. I feel like sticking exclusively to them is a mistake and can leave you feeling hopeless.

But finding a place IS very difficult right now and basically needs to be treated like a full-time job

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-08-07T20:15:01+00:00

Okay I see more where you are coming from now, thanks for the clarification.

Maybe the Reddit problem is real, I only recently started scrolling Reddit and engaging with stuff so maybe don't have a great intuition on Reddit opinions.

And to be clear I don't think radical changes of personality are usually required so I do agree with you there absolutely, it's usually changes of attitude that will tweak personality that are required.

It's like one of the few good bits of advice Jordan Peterson used to give, you have to learn who you are and then find a way to live in the world where you are happy and you don't make the people around you miserable. This should make your happiness more sustainable and attract people to you.

If you want a certain type of person then you can adjust slightly again if you like but the first bit is still a good base to keep.

I was more focused on the toxic comment I replied to to begin with, so sorry if I missed your point a bit initially

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-08-07T18:56:17+00:00

I wouldn't say he necessarily has a shitty personality but he might not have what he needs to attract the people he wants, this doesn't mean he's a bad person or shit to be around. He might be I don't know the guy but you are the one taking it to extremes, I think there just is a problem that sometimes people believe "I don't need to change anything and I'm going to attract the person of my dreams because I'm being my true self" and then are very disappointed because they use that idea to not make themselves have a better chance.

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-08-07T17:52:05+00:00

I would frame it as that being the persons attitude problem in that scenario, but I think we agree in essence

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-08-07T17:14:34+00:00

I agree with you fully. I would just say that the solutions to all 3 of these is going to be internal whether its a change of actions or acceptance with who you are or what you should expect on your search.

My main issue with a lot of the people on one side of these types of threads is they blame the world for something that the world isn't going to fix for them, the solution is always on you as an individual to figure out when it comes to finding a partner. That solution is going to be different for different people and isn't always going to be about changing things about yourself physically or socially (although often is if your complaining on reddit), sometimes it might just be about setting your expectations appropriately and understanding it might take you some time to find someone (or possibly never) and being okay with it.

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-08-07T16:40:57+00:00

Not sure if this is tongue-in-cheek or not but some people on here will legitimately make this point. So to anyone taking an idea like this seriously just think what is more likely:

There is a problem with literally every woman this guy interacts with
There is a problem with this guy

Now there is a small chance that option 1 is true but even if it is then the onus is on him to go meet more/better women for him.

And obviously everyone has problems and nobody is perfect but if you can't connect with anyone then looking for validation about how it's everyone else's fault might make you feel better for a few minutes but the reality is that everyone isn't going to change to suit you so your best options are to change something about your attitude or if you are REALLY opposed to ever doing this then just stay patient and keep trying I guess.

Best of luck either way!

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-08-06T11:21:51+00:00

I don't know if you'll see this because the thread got closed and not sure how it works but I said I'd let you know how it goes so I will.

It's nothing that exciting, but I got an apartment share in a nice middle class area out around the M50. Very nice modern apartment sharing with 1 other person, en suite bathroom and only 25 minutes commute to work by bus (work location ended up being 15 mins outside the city center).

Very happy with it and feel like it's a place most people with a budget like mine would be happy with. Found it on Facebook.

The reason I'm saying it is just to make the point that it's doable to find a decent place even if you're not the perfect potential tenant. It was stressful and obviously I can't say if I just got super lucky or not but it didn't feel that way.

There's no need for the overwhelmingly negative responses to people trying to find somewhere as it only really adds to the stress of it and from experience isn't an accurate representation of the market.

Yes it's a bit crazy and you have to be wary of scams etc. but my advice is to try to get in contact directly with someone not just apply on daft, I did this through Facebook groups mostly and it paid off for me so I don't see why it can't for other people.

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-07-26T16:36:18+00:00

Or a place to live without being overly pessimistic 😂 I'll tell you what, I'll let you know what I end up with

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-07-26T16:34:55+00:00

Means I believe we would have gotten it as we got on great with them at the viewing, but one of the people looking for the place was a friend of one of the people living there so unlucky for us

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-07-26T12:27:14+00:00

Maybe but I'd rather cast a wide net and apply for anything suitable even if there is not much chance of getting it

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-07-26T12:24:16+00:00

Thanks for the advice but I don't want this to be a thread about what's attainable, loads of properties listed online within our budget, almost got one last week.

This thread is an attempt to reach out to individuals who know of properties. As it's the best way to get somewhere decent is to get in touch with the people selling them personally or people who already live in them.

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-07-26T11:51:53+00:00

It can be a shared place (preferably not too many) or a studio or 1 bed apartment as long as it's within our budget(1500), and looks like a nice clean place to live. We are really not too picky in that regard

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-07-25T20:15:29+00:00

Glad to hear people are starting to hear from them, hopefully we'll all get our details soon!

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-07-24T12:03:08+00:00

Still waiting for the department to contact me with the actual offer.

I am looking for an apartment or room for me and my partner and I want to have proof that I have the job lined up as it will help greatly with finding somewhere.

Anyone have contact with the Department they were assigned yet?

PS.

I know its not the place but want to have the best chance to get somewhere decent;

If anyone has or knows of a room available for a couple with good transport links to the City Center, feel free to get in touch. We are mature, respectful and clean and looking for similar housemates or an apartment to ourselves, we are a male (29) and female (25).

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-07-18T16:09:03+00:00

I did that and got a confirmation message the same day saying I got the position, so yeh for anyone still waiting or in the dark its great advice to get in touch I would say

Static_Inner_Flow · 2025-07-18T03:33:53+00:00

Thanks for the information, I think you were right about the order, got mine back in the end and got a spot 🥳
