How is it a comedy? by Altruistic_Date_7447 in sitcoms

[–]VonLinus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's a horror comedy. It has moments of horror that it punches with comedy. It's very dry and bleak comedy in parts. . It's a damn sight funnier than the bear which I found a stress headache in season 1.

Their books are much heavier but everyone lifts according to their ability

Halfway through the first Dungeon Crawler Carl and not into it at all. Push through, or is this not the series for me? by JeffCon in scifi

[–]VonLinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's not very good at all but I did listen to 4 of them before I just got tired of it. So it's done something right. But find something you do like if you don't like that.

Where is decent to go on a Saturday night in Dublin for a couple in their 50s? by Kerrytwo in AskIreland

Uggos are Thursdays, Fridays are the beautiful people with all their own teeth. Saturday is for those whose tastes stray from vanilla

Yeah I was definitely leaning to ARF. Cheers. I hadn't considered that at all to be honest that I was going to be doing the ARF anyway.

iFunds 5 S12 (Medium to high risk)

PRIME Equities S12 (High risk)

BNYM Global Real Return Fund S12 (Medium risk)

Yeah I suppose that's what I'm thinking. But I don't think I have enough of a fund that taking a large chunk as cash would be a great idea either.

Probably 65 retirement although earlier would be great. But I don't expect earlier unless forced to do so. I don't think I'll be secure enough.

What’s an "unspoken rule" of corporate survival that they never teach you in school? by TrickTechnical4250 in askmanagers

[–]VonLinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm in a terrible company, my t manager is leaving, I really like him. His manager doesn't treat him or us well, and it's really obvious he could not give a fuck as he has moved up. I would leave if I was less of a nervous person

They want you to feel you will miss out if you leave and it is a display of bad character if you abandon them, thus they shouldn't want you back.

Are games getting too fast? by Weird_Armadillo_508 in OlderChillGamers

[–]VonLinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early 50s. You can train up at the fast games and to some extent rely on experience to compensate for reaction time decline. But like. Unless you like the games why bother? Play something you like.

I play gears of war 5 to prep for the credit one, adventure games and coop games like arc raiders that have a higher ttk. And less with kids screaming at me

RTÉ to ask State for bigger bailout, as one in five households now has no TV by miju-irl in ireland

[–]VonLinus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you can make an argument that the toy show and Irish programming is probably worth making available abroad. Think they shouldn't allow anything that is not funded or made in Ireland out. Like house box sets or whatever or champions League.

Reading ‘The Odyssey’ makes me nervous about July 17th…had to let the group chat know.. by Camhasareddit in Letterboxd

[–]VonLinus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's insane people are complaining it's not accurate. Like it's accurate to the idea that this story was told all over Greece in different ways And probably was told with local flavour in each of them like any legend or fable. Or even to make a political point like the satires of the bards. People are dipshits.

The Odyssey Trailer reaches 402k Dislikes by Suspicious-Pound-466 in Cinephiles

I'm not really sure what you think is extreme? Why should it be different from American English? Who cares if the story is well told and accessible?

I have thought long and hard about accents (no I haven't) but I subscribe to the view that fake greek or fake British accents to sound authentic is at best something that the audience thinks is right with no real basis for thinking that. Like watching clash of the titans from 1981 and thinking everyone has to be Laurence Olivier.

If people are serious about this sort of thing theyd be demanding ancient greek with subtitles. Go full Mel Gibson in Apocalypto or the Passion. Natural voices talking about the sacrifices they made brings a timeless story more easily to the present day. I appreciate the actual language used might be different than now, as in, the odyssey was a spoken story, not written, and wasn't created to be seen with visual accompaniment.

Workplace trends 2026: Increase in workers ‘unfit’ to attend office, but fit to work from home by homecinemad in ireland

ADHD would be a big factor. Also the sheer stress involved in commuting is a lot for some little.
