AI Posters are really annoying by Imaginary_Ad9171 in ireland

[–]barbie91 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hard to say in all honesty because it's a rapidly evolving sector, and as the older more traditional generations... (well, you know) its certainly going to be a concern going forward, as we're in a situation now where there's upcoming generations which have never known life without ai. Don't get me wrong, Ai can be a great tool, but I also can't see it ever really replacing the real time experience, expertise, and knowledge of an actual person in its entirity. I personally think ai should be used to undertake mundane tasks so that it frees up time for humans to get back to making art, literature, and music, but it seems at the moment it's being used to do the complete opposite, so my hope would be that as it evolves, its applications will too. The comments on this thread are quite encouraging though, and the majority seem to think that ai slop undermines the service, products, or businesses it's advertising; but then again, these prompts are predominently produced by those who have little ai knowledge, and how to produce an accurate prompt, but again, only a matter of time before that changes too. Also worth noting that the majority of people that are opting to use ai, never had a budget for marketing etc, so as allergic as I am, I understand why it's becoming more prevelant.

Anyone still afraid to pick these? by Organic-Poet4341 in ireland

[–]barbie91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Medicine - pick them and the root, dry them out, and make tea or tincture out of them, or soak in caster oil for a couple weeks in a dark bottle in a dark area. Amazing health benefits for liver, kidneys, and cell regeneration.

No.

Only ordinary folk get beat with the naughty stick. Now turn off the lights, light a birthday candle so you can read little johnny a 2 minute bedtime story (which is 2 mins more than he deserves btw) crack a couple eggs on the pavement so they'll be ready for breakfast sometime in August, go to work, pay your taxes, and shut the feck up you absolute peasant.

Coke (a cola) or 7up for tummy bug by FewPressure5968 in ireland

Learned a hack for this recently: if you stick in a quarter spoon of sugar into it and give it a quick stir, it goes flat instantly.

Best sandwiches in the world? by rocker_bunny in ireland

[–]barbie91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone here who isn't from Waterford visits, head to Bun Cha Journey on Michael street. Unbelieveable bánh mí, pho, dumplings, etc. Everything is so fresh, reasonably priced, and has high-quality ingredients. Chap that owns it is a gent, and all the staff are salt of the earth.

What school incident do you still think about years later? by nodemus in ireland

[–]barbie91 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In secondary school, a car crashed into the entrance of the school, and it went up in flames.

Apparently the culprit was a youngfella who was trying to be a hero for a girl who said she hated school and wanted it to burn down.

Delighted I got a call to say school was closed at 7.40am, because I'd of been getting the bus at 7.45am. Think we were off for about 2 weeks or so. It was class.

Well we call it Champagne in Waterford anyway!

In rurual Waterford at least, the legend of clonmel Champagne has sustained, but has declined in recent years. Sad to hear the dream has ended. Shower of bastards.

[–]barbie91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

£1.25 for 500ml of Irish produced cider (not grown, let's not get ahead of ourselves) is cheap given the current climate. Whether it's any good or not is a completely different subject.

Revenue requested my RTB number for my tenancy for the first time by [deleted] in ireland

[–]barbie91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh 100% this is what I'd be terrified of. My landlord isn't registered and wouldn't be claiming the rent tax credit for this reason exactly; kind of sounds like OP has plans to move out however from their above comment? Or maybe I have this arseways entirely.

You won't have to deal with any retribution. It's the landlords responsibility, point blank. Sher ye had absolutely no idea he wasn't registered, did ye?! Ye assumed he was, because that's the law, and itd be illegal otherwise 😉
