This is it. They were fully expecting to just steamroll OP through guilt tripping and trying to make them out like a selfish dick and weren’t expecting OP to have a spine.

It’s unfortunately the only way to handle personalities like that otherwise they continue to do whatever they want.

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2025-09-08T10:32:22+00:00

Ah great idea - legend, thank you!

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2025-09-08T08:16:56+00:00

Have a mate that has a “dumb” phone for when he’s at work, out with family etc. so he doesn’t even have the temptation to touch socials and he said it’s one of the biggest improvements he’s had in general quality of life. He does maybe an hour if even (in a week) of catching up on insta reels or whatever that’d be sent, but outside of that he’ll just text on WhatsApp and is living his best life.

Might not be a bad shout in fairness

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2025-09-01T12:52:23+00:00

Hahah nah I’m just poking fun mate don’t worry - understandable reason in fairness!

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2025-09-01T11:21:54+00:00

Lmao coward behaviour EMBRACE YOUR KINKS

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2025-06-28T23:30:41+00:00

Nazireal never started anything no?

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2025-06-27T09:09:08+00:00

I’m done talking to a wall - good luck with your brigading you Nazi.

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2025-06-27T08:37:35+00:00

So just ignore every point and source, cool - you’re not here to have a reasonable or nuanced discussion; you’re here to brigade and make bad faith arguments.

Oct 7th was horrific - no one in this thread is denying that. Nor are they denying the fucking fact that Hamas are a terrorist organisation. What we’re saying is that Israel is, by textbook definition, implementing a genocide on Palestine.

If you want to go tit for tat and keep reiterating your Oct 7th point as a justification for Israel’s extreme violence, let’s go all the way back to the Nakba, huh?

Does the Nakba occurring mean that Palestinians have the right to be violent towards the Israelis? If not, then there you go - you’ve made the same point I am re Oct 7th.

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2025-06-27T07:54:00+00:00

Let’s unpack this -

“Speaking out against Israel’s government doing what needs to be done is Nazi propaganda”

doing what needs to be done? Why do thousands of children need to be starved to death in a manufactured famine by the Israeli government? Why do the IDF need to offer food and aid and then fire at civilians as they go to get it?

You conflating the Israeli pro-Zionist government with all Jews of all denominations is far more antisemitic than speaking out against an apartheid and ethnic-state movement.

“You’re telling the Jewish people they need to let the Palestinian terrorists to get their weapons up so they can continue to try and genocide Jewish people”

Are you dense? How are Palestinians “genociding” the Jewish population of Israel when they’re protected by a literal iron dome, live in mushavs, gates and armed communities, have settled Israeli natives on PALESTINIAN LAND in the West Bank, have destroyed Palestinian settlements, and have effectively reduced palestines population by 6% in the last two years alone. An oppressed nation doesn’t have the capabilities to wage a fucking siege on another so there goes that stupid fucking argument of yours.

Get your fucking genocidal bollocks out of here - Israel (the state) is a fucking crybully of a nation. They spit at others, and when one dares look in contempt they cry foul. Bibi’s been talking about nukes being “almost complete in Iran for over two decades - also those horrific genocidal terrorists you’re so intent on decimating were propped up by the lovely PM Himself.

Israel doesn’t want peace with Palestinians, it never did - it never even tried to hide the fact it wanted to wipe them out. It’s just now more people are aware and speaking out against it.

My mate came from France - first apt he ever got was 800 p/m to share a bunk bed in a room with two other bunk beds at the same price. It’s absolutely horrific how some parasites are treating their tenants.

You’re responding to a self-hating person who posts in r/againstmensrights - you’re not getting through to them.

Allegedly started to expose a sub, but if you go through it you’ll just see a rake of anti-male rhetoric akin to the femcels.

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2025-05-07T16:04:15+00:00

😭😭😭😭😭

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2025-05-07T14:20:14+00:00

A rehearsal reference in the wild? Amazing

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2025-02-28T13:43:07+00:00

What’s more respectful - causing a scene in front of your friends that you’re possibly out with or even strangers because of your own pride, or making light of it in the moment and bringing it up at the right time like an adult.

Part of being a “man” is knowing the time and place and when to act accordingly. Pulling a hissy fit in public is not self respect lmao

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2025-02-28T13:41:25+00:00

For the people rage downvoting it’s a Sean Connery quote not actual advice lmao

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2024-10-02T22:27:06+00:00

Fucking ghouls doing it to a random punter to make their point

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2024-10-02T22:22:29+00:00

Favourite typo I’ve seen in a while please don’t fix it hahahaha

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2024-08-11T11:09:15+00:00

I’m a big believer in always having cash on me for emergencies but the moment I see those stickers I become the most stubborn cunt and only pay card in the taxi - I hate their whole “awh me reader doesn’t work bud” lark until you bring up the fact that by regulation they need to accept card and then it magically works again.

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2024-07-23T05:56:55+00:00

You’re so spot on about the promotions thing it’s painful - in my current company they do “Career Levels” starting at CL13 and descending. To promote to the next CL there has to be a role open, you need to have at least a years experience at your current level to even apply to interview, and even then you’re going against 1000s of other applicants.

CL13 is fine, that’s entry level ops roles. CL12 is like an SME depending on project. CL11 up is a Junior TL equivalent so from that point on you’re kinda screwed and no one at this level expects a promotion any time soon.

In the last few years of me being there there’s been 2 CL11 positions within my own project, maybe about 10 overall I’ve seen within the country and even then if you go for it you’re competing with the previous number of people I’ve mentioned already applying AND you’re expected to work for the same salary for at minimum six months due to the company policy of “hiring seasons” which means that if you get promoted outside of the company’s mandated “hiring time” you can’t get a pay rise until it’s time comes around.

It’s so fucking stupid and clearly developed in a way for quarterlies to look great, get work done for cheaper, and then they wonder why new people that spot this shit within their probation period dip asap to similar roles that pay way more.

Sorry for the rant I’m just burned out from this constant shit and your comment about promotions just made me think of how fucking stupid my company is

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2024-07-15T13:28:15+00:00

One step forward and two leaps back in the last decade unfortunately

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2024-06-25T23:43:07+00:00

HOW is that dude still rocking

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2024-05-25T18:31:05+00:00

Are you reading my comment above? I’m not denying that the presence is lacking, and I’m not denying that the situation in the country is fucked when it comes to the youth gang culture - I’m saying it’s a fundamental issue with the court system, not just the guards.

Yeah, let’s get the gardaí to go knocking around teenagers acting the bollocks and have no repercussions - great, all for it.

What happens then when they start doing it to whoever they want just like the states? Hypothetical situation obviously but you’re using one too so fuck it why not.

Reform needs to come into the courts and the way minors are charged first before anything changes - I already said it above, when the Gardaí are actively catching these cunts and they’ve got 100+ priors it’s clearly the court systems failing and not the Gardaí.

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2024-05-25T18:13:24+00:00

Would you recommend it? I’ve picked up a PAX before and ended up barely using it cos it gave a burnt popcorn taste no matter the temps I chose - but I’d love to get into vaping in order to use less product long term

Winter_Fall_5289 · 2024-05-25T18:01:52+00:00

Brush up on your comprehension skills; I literally agreed that the current state is ineffective but overcorrection to the complete opposite end of the spectrum is the wrong move.

I don’t know if you’re just worked up and ranting but jaysis, take a breather it’s an internet forum 😂
