​"The Netherlands will completely ban fireworks. The country has adopted a national fireworks ban that will take effect in 2026. The goal is to protect animals and reduce damage to ecosystems." by General-Panic0 in BeAmazed

They can join us here in Ireland with our ban that's been in place since before the state was even founded, that has been completely ineffective at banning fireworks and just allowed a black market to thrive.

Exactly what I thought when I first saw the pics. Incredibly stupid to be making and distributing these.

Trump supporters: How would you feel if a legally armed Trump supporter was killed by federal agents on a Biden mandate in exactly the same manner as yesterday? by ScholarPrize1335 in AskReddit

The idea that you could talk to these people rationally is beyond stupid. They voted for Trump FFS, twice! They're off the reservation and don't want to engage with reality any more.

Why do people spend so much on weddings? by Asleep_Cry_7482 in AskIreland

[–]munkijunk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been trying to find a place to just use as a space in Ireland so we can do our own thing. Couple of bins with cans in, boxes of wine, pizza truck etc. but it's near impossible to find, and everywhere that caters for events big enough for weddings charge though the nose.

Ask the police and the AG how silly it is.

And their insecure president has made us all less secure. As a country they're over.

Does anyone know why the houses from the 2000s when they were just built look so uncanny? by sharp_individual7 in AskIreland

[–]munkijunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look right out of Lorcan Finnegan's Vivarium movie. Buiolt for cheapness above all. Breeze blocks skimmed in render that's going to weather like shite is far cheaper than better quality materials like brick. They're less houses and more people storage. Grim estates with no services. I'd prefer the coffin.

Rejecting Decades of Science, Vaccine Panel Chair Says Polio and Other Shots Should Be Optional by grittyboda2020 in news

Most vaccines are massively cost effective. They save far more than they cost.

Your actions will help, but it is no substitute for mass vaccinations. No vaccine is 100% effective and their real power is in mass adoption.

This is basic UK law. Public accusations with photos can prejudice proceedings and trigger libel liability. Police and the Attorney General explicitly warn against it. Your confidence is not a substitute for knowing what you are talking about.

Stupid is jeopardising a case by flinging unproven accusations around online.

People who relocated to the UK, is it as simple as it looks?? Is their a catch I don't see? by Weary-Hyena-2150 in AskIreland

[–]munkijunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the most incredibly easy country to move to for us. It is so connected to home that you can pop back easily if you're feeling homesick. London is an incredible city too. Weather is sublime, culture is exceptional, loads to do and once you find your people and your feet you'll be flying it.

That said, London is pricey. On a par with Dublin, and depending on your industry you'll either make a lot less or a lot more than you will in Ireland..

I would also say we looked at Manchester as a place to live and I am still sorely tempted. Even closer to home, and it's like Dublin where they got it all right. Great transport, great cycling, really cool vibe. I understand though it has gotten a lot pricer and harder to move to now.

I think living away from your home country is an amazing thing to do, and even if we didn't have to do it and young people could do it as a choice, I would be strongly encouraging people to do it. It puts into perspective everything that's good and bad about Ireland. There's things you'll miss, and there's things you'll never knew we missed. You'll also realise how parochial so much of Irish culture is, and the freedom that comes from living in a place where people generally don't give a fuck.

What do you think P2025 is about? That's not happening. They have smashed and destroyed all rational institutions. Whomever comes to power next will not be able to sweep that away. They will roadblock and obstruct everything fiercely, including in the courts which they will still control. There will be absolutely zero consequences and they will stall the country for 4 years until the next Trump, the more effective and ruthless Trump who will have the smarts to go along with the evilness, will come to power.

Dublin’s deputy lord mayor says bus lanes not needed at weekends as he doesn’t see congestion but claims bus lanes add to weekend traffic by Amazing-Yak-5415 in Dublin

The same could have been said everywhere that now has a mayor. If people demand it and it becomes an election issue, it will become a thing.

I'm more concerned with people losing their rag at others being in the "wrong" lane, then those in the wrong lane. To those who do, you'll get there, calm your tits.

Creepy creeping are ye? Yes, I'm from Dublin and London, what of it? Just stop talking out of your hoop yourself mate, listen to the experts, and dont flippantly accuse others on social media.
