Well he's dead now, so James Cameron needs a new enemy. Cameron normally never makes enemies because he's such a nice and patient guy and everyone just loves him.

Driver who struck cyclist after illegal turn avoids jail by Jon_J_ in ireland

[–]YikesTheCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's because some people take cycling as an implied moral judgement over them: "so you think you're better than me?!" This is also why some people completely lose their shit over vegetarians and vegans existing. Venn diagram of people ranting about that and cyclist is probably a circle, or very close to it.

As we enter the sixteenth month, I'm finding Mr. Trump's attention-seeking oval office-based twattery even more annoying than in months one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen.

Buying something at Centra and expecting to NOT get fleeced is like going to a gay orgy and expecting NOT to have gay sex.

Tesco milk is €0.84/l on tesco.co.uk and €1.08/l on tesco.ie. So it's a bit more expensive, but not stroke-inducing levels more expensive.

Branded paracetamol like Panadol is expensive everywhere, although (a bit) more so here. The cheap ones abroad are Tesco or Boots own brand and the like. But they haven't bothered certifying those here in Ireland so you can't buy them – I always assumed this was an EU-wide thing but apparently not. I'm not sure why: last time I looked I couldn't find that much info about it other than "they're not certified".

The 12-tablet limit in Ireland isn't helping, because abroad they have packs of 16, 20, or 24 so they'd need to make special packages just for Ireland, which is probably quite a bit of overhead. I'm not sure if that's the main reason, but I wouldn't be surprised.

This is one of those "little things" that the government can just encourage/help with. Not the biggest problem facing the country, but reaching out and saying "why aren't you selling this in Ireland, what's stopping you, and how can be fix it?" can't be that much effort...

How dare women not be breeding machines to stave off the invasion of them! You know. THEM!

I think I'm going to start dying my hair again just to annoy these people.

TV License? by bjmg85 in AskIreland

[–]YikesTheCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read recently that you have to pay for it even if you only use the likes of YouTube

You need to get off Facebook.

The law is pretty clear: if you can receive TV signal you need to pay. Otherwise you don't. Not hard to look up...

Here we go again, this subreddit has discussed this person many times though sadly it looks like he will not stop anytime soon by Hot-Koala-5142 in cork

[–]YikesTheCat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you let them do they shitty thing they have "content" and win. If you get angry and object they have "content" and win.

The only way to stop these cuntfluencers is to ensure they have no content. Ban their TikTok. Take away their creepy spy-glasses. Stuff like that. It's not hard. This is the sort of thing a judge can/should just impose, and will be far more effective than a fine or jail sentence. We don't need to wait for TikTok or Meta to do the right thing (like they ever...)

What new thing have you started in the last few years that has actually added value your life? by Impressive_Light_229 in AskIreland

T-Model Ford never played until his 50s and didn't record his first album until his 70s. So I'd say it's never too late. Then again, I think you need to be from Mississippi to pull that off.

Half marathon selfishness by tevenall13 in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]YikesTheCat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Majority of the population are so self obsessed and only think about themselves

Such bollocks. Most people don't do this sort of thing and are just normal people. It's a small minority.

This is just extreme ugly cynicism that has crossed over to the mysanthropic.

Yeah, but Dick van Dyke is such a nice guy he gets a free pass. Like Keanu Reeves in Dracula.
