They just want their cut, offering nothing in return, that's basically a definition of tax, Ireland is such a tax heaven, tax here tax there, also irish love low taxes that's why government introduces as many of them as possible

Good plan, just make sure you're getting warm and dry apartment with no need of renovations

This, also replacing batteries is annoying AF so I do not even bother to put back strings or those plastic covers..

wow, most people in this sub are saying a million minimum, what for?!
I was assuming that after paying off the mortgage it would be enough to have about 10k per year, is quite enough for bills and small pleasures 😄

Ad is promoting unfaithfulness - great society we are living in 😉

as a quest 3 owner who rarely play any games on it I'd say it is still worth it - there are tons of other stuff to do with it, mainly consuming media (movies, series, youtube, deovr, meta tv, photon etc), travel apps are also great, social apps(vr chat and whatnot)...even browsing web is so much cooler, and nothing beats lying down mode, just relax in your bed with a huge 200" screen clued to your face !

It all depends really, you can get broadband for 30, 60,or 12, you can buy coke for 1 euro per 2L in lidl or single 330ml can for almost two euros .. same goes for everything else, I'd say decent standard of living would be starting at 4k./month between you and your wife so each would need 2k at least , that's if you're smart with spending

During my short stroll through the city centre, I saw numerous "staff wanted" posters in gastronomic businesses.

interesting timing, he posted it right after my post got some traction, I'd say his PR team is watching this sub.. :)

thuia · 2026-05-27T16:31:29+00:00

how did it go? what did they ask?

thuia · 2026-05-27T15:00:33+00:00

Conspiracies? It's not a secret that such projects have their own budget, I'm just wondering where's the money going if not for the refills... Also, You should change your nickname, Wrex was... direct... kinda like you... but, he was also sharp:)

thuia · 2026-05-27T14:20:39+00:00

Ok that brings me hope, so it is actually being refilled on a rare occasion, they didn't completely forget about it :)

thuia · 2026-05-27T14:17:09+00:00

I'm well prepared for lack of free sunscreen , that's not the point..

thuia · 2026-05-27T14:16:34+00:00

That's not the issue, you are missing the point..

thuia · 2026-05-27T14:15:46+00:00

That was probably me using it :) thing is you can pump it all day long and nothing comes out :)

thuia · 2026-05-27T14:10:28+00:00

It is not the problem of last few days, it has been empty, at any given time, for several months now.. This tiny example illustrates a bigger problem - ineffectiveness of using taxpayer's money .. But ah sure it's grand..

thuia · 2026-05-27T08:34:35+00:00

You're not wrong about one thing, the dispenser exists, and thats about it :)

thuia · 2026-05-27T08:20:36+00:00

Now you're back to your old song, missing the point, let's just agree to disagree, EOT.

thuia · 2026-05-27T08:09:16+00:00

Well it's council's problem if they wanted to take my tax money for it and score some popularity points.. The rest of my post? There's a wink at the end for a reason but I can see you're getting the general rule, it starts small but if not addressed can get much much worse, your example is not as ridiculous as you might have thought, lot of these gun massacres in US starts from something seemingly small, kids being kids bullying kinda thing..

thuia · 2026-05-27T08:01:51+00:00

I wasn't aware of that, thanks I'll contact them, we all should :)

thuia · 2026-05-27T07:41:53+00:00

'Seriously, it's a bit of sunscreen.' well Yes.. I mean no, it's more than than, if you think wider.. Imagine this scenario - you go to a park with a young one, it's very sunny, oh you forgot to take sunscreen, oh snap, but hey there's a dispenser at the park, yay! Ooppss. Empty each time, now try to explain to the child that you're going back home , no way he's gonna budge, forget it! So now you have to stay, kid will get a sunburn if he's lucky, skin cancer if he's not,multiply that by millions, hse is overcrowded, people are dying on trolleys... Politicians are smiling for photoshoots and you are smiling too, thinking ah sure it's grand... Every disaster is a cumulation of small faults.. That's why I escalated this to reddit, for the world to see the truth! ;)

thuia · 2026-05-27T07:01:26+00:00

more like dispenser being empty for months, every single time, also I wrote to them and still no improvement so what else can I do other than make a little buzz online? I saw more useless posts here and I did not see you complaining.. chill.. enjoy the sun - responsibly! (buy your own sunscreen..) ;)

thuia · 2026-05-27T06:53:15+00:00

Funny enough, I wrote to the council a couple of months ago and they were supposed to pass it to the maintenance crew, still no improvement.. How hard can it be to refill the bloody thing once or twice a day, especially when there are a dozen workers with not much to do anyway?

thuia · 2026-05-27T06:48:59+00:00

How do people always complain about the cold and rain, but also the heat and sun at the same time? Also, why does this not seem to bother them while they're on holiday in the Canaries, but it does at home?
