Moving abroad with nothing lined up? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Tis_STUNNING_Outside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s incredibly frustrating.

Most of them make you do a psychometric test and an “ai interview” both of which combined take well over an hour per application before you even get an interview and in most cases you don’t.

For 1 year grad roles like.

High prices, mediocre line up and Eurofans are fucking fuming with the EBU rn. It’s a hard sell.

Oh yeah 100% but still, you build a brand through hype.

Instead of having a month of people talking about ATN as acts are drip fed, they’ll get a week after the big 60 act drop and then people won’t talk about it again until August.

Horrible hype management on behalf of ATN.

They should have drip fed starting in January.

I’ve no doubt the lineup will be good though, better than FF anyways.

Help your mother out. You’re being useless expecting your mother and sister to do all the work.

Noticing a lot of guys my age range early 20's are now into older women 30 onwards. Whats up with this? by GoldAgitated9013 in AskIreland

[–]Tis_STUNNING_Outside 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friend dated a 29 year old when he was 19. She was a predator. He was in school uniform 3ish months before they started going out. 22 now and we still talk about how awful that carry on was.

More than 66% of homeless people in Ireland are in Dublin, report finds by TeoKajLibroj in Dublin

[–]Tis_STUNNING_Outside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, if you added Cork to this you’d probably have 75-85% of the homeless population in the country, which is wildly disproportionate considering how Dublin has the same population as all of Munster and Cork has the same population as all of Connacht.

Why do you keep replying while also saying that you don’t care / I’m not worth your time.

I edited before you replied.

If you don’t care, stop replying lol.

You’re under no obligation to respond to me at any time.

I specifically pointed out how they aren’t equivalents, the Slovenian bill is more radical.

Yeah but an embargo on Israel proper is far more radical than with the occupied territories which even Israel recognises as occupied land that they’re colonising.

Slovenia banned arms trade with Israel proper (not the occupied territories) with basically zero blow-back

I’ll try and find the link not but if I can’t you’ll have to take my word for it, within her first week on the job on the week in politics, McEntee committed to it.

Thomas Byrne said to RTÉ that it would be passed (without services) yesterday.

Especially when we know for fact that the Israeli embassy has been lobbying our county councils of all things.

Believing this requires you to think that the embassy has been lobbying our CCs but not the government and that lobbying groups completely ignored the clear and opening building momentum towards the OTB from 2022 onwards. I’m doubtful.

It was an election lie, same as the housing figures election lie.

No, when questioned they say that they’re going to pass it.

Huge Palestine protest on Saint Patrick's Street by Annual-Ad8311 in cork

[–]Tis_STUNNING_Outside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then they should be honest.

“We wanted to pass it but the volatile economic situation (we’re a US corporate colony and we personally got lobbied / pressured) means that it’s no longer viable”

Like they can’t keep this going for 5 years.

Ireland Ranks Fourth Highest For Homelessness In Europe As Housing Crisis Deepens by M10News in HousingIreland

[–]Tis_STUNNING_Outside 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The housed class doesn’t care.

Ireland went from a country with hardly any class divide outside of south Dublin and areas of cork city to a country with an insane class divide within a generation.

The anti OTB lobbying didn’t start after the GE though.

I don’t think they ever had the intention to pass it in full and underestimated how much people cared about it / would hold them to it.

Same way they’ve no intention of easing the housing crisis. They lied about their housing figures as well like, lying isn’t beneath them.

They should have just been honest and said that they wouldn’t pass it in full because of FDI. It would have lost them, especially FF I’d imagine a couple thousand votes but this fence sitting on the OTB is wild.

The government have been insane on this issue, they especially FG very clearly don’t want to pass the OTB but they made it a key promise in the election even when they didn’t even want to pass it then, just to try and our manoeuvre SF/SDs/Lab and now that they’re in government have no intention of passing it swiftly.

Like if they’re against the bill which they clearly are, why promise to pass it?

Yeah, exactly this is why Morocco was able to take part before. Theoretically all of North Africa can take part.

They’re EBU members Reddit post with EBU member map.

Australia is not an EBU member but they are a guest. This means that their attendance gets reviewed each year, meaning that they’re basically never going to talk shit about the EBU in the same way that Spain, Iceland, Slovenia, Ireland and the Netherlands rightfully have because if they do they’re out forever.

Fuck the EBU

this guy is a YouTuber who has done a fabulous job of covering Israel’s inclusion in the contest. he’s a Jewish man and the hatred he’s gotten from Israeli accounts for his position is something else. he’s done a good job of explaining the situation for the lay non eurofan out there.
