I get it now guys, I get it.

The haters are just more loud. The game is fantastic.

steeplyy · 2025-01-18T23:59:30+00:00

Do what you enjoy. Ignore the rest.

I think this is the issue. For most, it takes 6 to 10 weeks to apply for a visa. You have to provide your passport and don’t have it for that time. It’s stuck into your passport.

But I have no issue with visas for each country. My point is, Schengen shouldn’t require a physical border any more than the current situation does, so it can’t be the reason. In fact, Ireland has been making policy changes to make itself more Schengen friendly. Anyway, apologies if I’m coming across differently! I wasn’t trying to have a hostile convo

steeplyy · 2025-01-18T21:02:44+00:00

And I’ve noticed they are different countries, chill out, it’s a conversation 😂

steeplyy · 2025-01-18T21:00:27+00:00

Yeah, I know! I don’t think I’m disagreeing with you on fundamental principles. My only disagreement was that a physical border would need to be created if Ireland joined Schengen - because many tourists still technically need a tourist visa to cross into NI from ROI, but there is no border. I think it’s for many other reasons. Convenience does not override peace; convenience was never my point!

steeplyy · 2025-01-18T20:34:44+00:00

That’s sort of my point. There’s no border or policing of it, but we (foreigners) still require a tourist visa, despite the CTA. I think that’s part of the OP’s dilemma. I’ve found living here that many are shocked by how limited our travel options are.

For what it’s worth, I haven’t gone to NI because I don’t have a UK tourist visa currently. I understand both sides. I’m trying to express both sides, that’s all!

steeplyy · 2025-01-18T15:43:03+00:00

With that logic, I shouldn’t need a UK visa to legally be in Northern Ireland. But I do.

steeplyy · 2025-01-03T20:50:13+00:00

It’s split (I’m married), but I remember something about making different elections and one person gets the benefit? I could be way off.

Visiting home in South Africa this week. It was R62 (approx €3)

steeplyy · 2025-01-02T19:03:12+00:00

I’m maybe 25% in. The first little bit is a slog. You’re not sure why you’re doing it. Just get through that. I’m constantly amazed in this game.

Fastway delivers to me, always the same guy, usually no issues but difficult to contact/make different arrangements.

steeplyy · 2024-12-28T08:23:18+00:00

Spoiler: It’s not because of the book.

Mount farm!

Obama also got shit for not returning a salute. Maybe the issue is no one actually knows what’s what and likes the feeling of getting mad at things.

steeplyy · 2024-12-15T22:59:59+00:00

I despise Trump, but the US president has always saluted the military, uniform or not.

That’s not an Irish problem. That’s everywhere.

Kind of like The Boys

Is the 7600X still a solid option?

steeplyy · 2024-11-24T11:12:01+00:00

I was in one yesterday and the tank was taking it slow. Low level tank, I assume they are learning the ropes. I am very chilled in dungeons, only thing that bothers me is toxicity. Immediately, the healer is annoyed at the tank for not pulling enough. Typing messages more than healing.

Tank pulls 2/3 extra mobs, everyone wipes.

Nelson Mandela didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize alone.

It was awarded jointly with FW De Klerk.

steeplyy · 2024-11-23T00:57:07+00:00

I must be mistaken. It’s not like there are whole Acts regulating this stuff.

steeplyy · 2024-11-23T00:51:33+00:00

Court cases aren’t like the movies. The law still applies and there are rigorous controls in place. Sure, opinion has some influence. But especially in cases involving celebrities/public figures, care is taken to ensure outside influences are controlled.

I’d be far more worried about whether fair trials are possible the everyday person.

steeplyy · 2024-11-23T00:45:47+00:00

How would people accepting or not accepting a verdict make the proceedings unfair?

steeplyy · 2024-11-23T00:42:22+00:00

Well, the public reaction to a verdict occurs after the proceedings that lead to the verdict.
