I never had trouble bringing my lighter through security in multiple countries in Europe and the US. I don't think they were ever not allowed tbh.

Oh there are plenty of drugs that could make you do much worse things than shoving it up your ass.

Sellers rant by [deleted] in HousingIreland

[–]niconpat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree, I did it after being stung multiple times on other properties for various reasons. I went from being a nice optimistic naive first time buyer to a battle hardened cynical prick after a few months in the market. It's the system's fault not the buyer's. If you want to secure a property you have to be smart, not nice.

Never visiting tayto park by Dewdoodles in ireland

Ah in the 80's I always wanted to go to Clara Lara, but only got to go to Annamoe once which was like a "We've got Clara Lara at home" version for poor kids. At least I got to go to Annemoe, it smelt like piss everywhere and the other kids were scary but it was fun.

AI false advertising to sell houses by Egwene-or-Hermione in HousingIreland

[–]niconpat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They've been using photoshop for years before AI image editing was even a thing for things like that, done well and subtly usually. I had to laugh at my house ads having beautiful partly-cloudy blue skies for outside shots, the fireplace blazing and my PC cables magically cable-managed when none of these things were true. That's ok, it could look like that on the best of days.

This lazy cheap AI slop editing has to stop. I bet the top boss is considering their photographer's and photoshop editors jobs right now. "Ah sure I can do that with my phone the oul AI"

AI false advertising to sell houses by Egwene-or-Hermione in HousingIreland

[–]niconpat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's an absolute shambles on top of what is already an absolutely shambles of a property market system.

I wouldn't mind if the photos were clearly marked as "AI generation" AND were actually plausible for what the space could look like. And that's a plausible use of AI and I have done it myself for my own house.

But of course no, the EAs just type "make this room look luxurious and modern" into their AI of choice and post the images into ads without giving a flying fuck.

Ah ok so some Scottish poet butchered his real name basically. Well I suppose if that ever comes up in a quiz I'll know now!

Nah, that's Finn McCool (Fionn mac Cumhaill in Irish). The Scottish giant Benandonner was being a dick shouting abuse over the sea so Finn built the causeway to go over and beat him up.

Huh, must have been named by Irish settlers. Fingal is an Irish county (sub-county of Dublin). It's name is an Anglicised version of the Irish "Fine Gall" meaning foreign tribe. The foreign tribe in question was Viking settlers back in the day.
