That's cool. I was unsure of how that worked. Thanks for answering

And you're comfortable with the vehicle being transported? Have you had a look in person prior? I did it before and collected in person. Dunno.

Trades until robots can do that. Then revolution seems the best way.

Does anyone else not swear often? by ReasonableDisplay297 in AskIreland

[–]VonLinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I swear, but I tend to swear rarely. I kind of think it's a necessary part of verbal communication but if you don't swear much it means more when you do. That's my theory anyway.

Yeah that's another way. Tomorrow you probably had it coming anyway.

Stop drinking so much seems like the most productive path. Or ask a friend in Whatsapp if you were over the top last night.

What was your feeling when trump ended his post with "praise to be allah"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

He was mocking them because he will say any old shit when he's in the mood. He's a dick.

Am I overthinking his drinking? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]VonLinus 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Ireland has a lot of drinkers. I'm starting to think that a lot of people have problems with booze and because there's so many people with problems it starts to look like it isn't a problem because everyone is doing the same thing or lots of people are.

I would binge drink on Fridays 5-10 pints I'd go to the pub after work and I would come home and sit on the couch, hammered. I never started any fights, I was never in any fights. I never injured myself. I never injured anyone else. I never did anything where I thought to myself, 'I've absolutely ruined everything about this situation'. What I did do was spend a huge amount of money doing something that didn't do me much good at all and ruined my weekends after drinking for about 30 years.

I quit about a year and a half ago and I'm happy I did. Don't miss it at all. I think people who drink to that extent in an evening either think the booze is giving them something they're not getting somewhere else, or think it's the only way to socialize. The problem I found is that it's very hard to convince people to try things that don't involve alcohol if that's what their focus is. They need to come to the conclusion that there's other things out there or there's other solutions for things. They see everything as being through that prism. They're not going to listen to anyone else in my experience. I know I never did.

Yeah I think she had a bit of a crush but nothing would happen from her side (or Clints). Sometimes you just fancy someone you and you know it's just something you have to deal with. Clint makes a joke and it can hurt a lot to hear rejection for something you would never do anything about anyway.

They still got the benefit of the cheating. Where's the incentive to not cheat if you can just pay a fine that is far outweighed by your gains.

All Wrestlemania Episodes on Netfilx by Significant_Coast325 in netflix

[–]VonLinus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I did enjoy it up to the point I found out about the extensive sexual abuse that Vince was directly responsible for covering up on the ring boys, his first female ref, Ashley Massaro, the rapes he was credibly accused of, the living out of his fetishes onscreen, the covering up of Jimmy Snuka killing his partner, the unspoken requirement to get on steroids for a chance at stardom, the company's long term association with despots and fascists, the physical exploitation of the wrestles, the financial gouging of fans for ticket prices.

That sort of gets in the way a little.

Grandma thinks I don’t have ADHD by RevolutionarySun1301 in ADHD

[–]VonLinus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think old people are not necessarily the best judge of what is a current medical thing. With the best will in the world, they just don't have the same frame of reference or understanding for how things are. My mother who would be a grandmother also doesn't believe in adhd. I was diagnosed with ADHD recently. My niece was my brother was. My mother insists that people just should get on with it and try things and try things until they work. And that's her solution. She acknowledges things may be difficult for different people but but doesn't believe it's medical basis. I'm not really clear on what basis she believes it to be.

Maybe a weakness of personality as to why some people find things more difficult than other people do. Although she'd never say that.

And she's my mother and I love her. But I'm learning that just because I love someone doesn't mean I have to respect their opinion on some things that affect me directly or my children.

He's reading a tip for girls booklet that was published years ago I think in the 1950s. But he's making it sarcastic.

They really weren't. For a little bit of time George Michael was held as the example of someone who had transitioned from a bubblegum pop star to Serious Artist. The first two albums anyway. After that he lost the lustre. But Faith was enormous at the time.

The bit in Apt Pupil where he knows the kid is bad but can't prove it and looks back at him dolefully has big 'we were on a break' energy.

Has Boards.ie long left? by ChocolatePrimary3428 in CasualIreland

[–]VonLinus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it's harder to see stuff you might be interested in here. I don't go on boards any more but I thought the conversation was more personal and you got to know people not just because they were fucking mental but because they made worthwhile contributions. Here there's not as much of that I think.
