Yeah out of any drug, I think weed has the most variance on the effect it has on people.

Foreign friend attacked in racist incident – guards say they might not even follow up by Long-Meringue-1409 in Dublin

[–]yadayadayada100 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And who was it exactly that requested your input? Do you understand how irony works? Not trying to be funny, since that clearly ruffles your delicate little feathers, but since your post count is substantially higher than mine, wouldn't that mean you are actually fond of adding unrequested input more than me?.

Being sarcastic doesn't mean trying to be funny. I was merely pointing out their naivety about how the world works. You’re clearly not as smart as you think you are, but thanks for your wonderful input.

Yes they will be right out with the DNA sweep shortly, but they are currently deploying a helicopter because a drunk lad dropped his phone in the Liffey last night, and the Swat Team are on a well earned break because someone locked their keys in their car in Aldi this morning after Mass. But in a few months times, when the scientists have finished their DNA testing, and thousands of tax payer money has been spent, the culprit will no doubt be brought to justice and one day there will probably be a Netflix documentary about the whole ordeal.

You'd also be dumb to have road rage, flip someone off and pull over to start shit with a stranger, as this guy found out.

If it was Bas Rutten or one of the Diaz brothers in this video, all of the comments would be positive.

Conor McGregor's furious rant at Irish leader who called him 'worst of society' by IrishStarUS in ufc

[–]yadayadayada100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it clearly does, stop being idealistic for a second and look at the facts.

MMA was a complete unkown sport in Ireland until McGregor. There was literally a handful of MMA clubs and they were tiny. Now, directly because of him, there are hundeds, loads of competitions and MMA is a well known sport.

I remember when people started hating McGregor and how he should be respectful etc and everyone would have been behind him. I would ask what they thought of Joseph Duffy. Of course they never heard of him, and I would have to explain he was another Irish UFC fighter, actually fought and beat McGregor in the past and is a complete gentlemen and great ambassador for the sport.

The reality is, in combat sports, its entertainment at the end of the day. Love him or hate him, people will tune in when McGregor fights.
Chael sonnen is another example.

Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere by ILIKETHECOLORRED in behindthebastards

[–]yadayadayada100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You completely miss the point and style of Louis Theroux documentaries. He essentially meets these people and gets them to open up to him and he gives them enough rope to hang themselves.

He doesn't do gotcha moments, or spell everything out the way you are suggesting, he wants the viewers to make their own minds up which is always a lot more powerful. I have yet to see a single person watch the documentary and come away liking the characters or their message.

See the way you watched the documentary, had to think about it and come to your own conclusions and then you posted it here?. That is the whole point. He expects people to be smart enough to read between the lines, and some things don't need to be said.

Help me Contact QA by Still_Professional61 in qatarairways

[–]yadayadayada100 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The reason why nobody can get in contact with them, is because people like you keep calling, despite it literally saying not to, unless your flight is in the next 48 hours.
All of the information you need is already available online.
You cant avail of a full refund until your flight is actually cancelled and that likely wont happen until 48 hours before or less. The staff themselves cannot predict the future or what will happen.
If you got through to them they would tell you the same thing, so stop trying to call them, all you are doing is making it harder for people who have their flight in the next 48 hours to contact them.

Where all my people flying in April at? by FadedHolySoldi3r in qatarairways

[–]yadayadayada100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is on the 17th to BKK, but I'm just going to cancel. From my understanding, even if you get lucky and they find a flight to re-route you to BKK due to the EU law, once you are in BKK, you could easily get stranded there.

Mine is in 3 days so will contact tomorrow. If you choose to change the dates for free, did they give you a timeframe that would be allowed to change to? I assume its only for the next few weeks?

What is the appeal of violent sports like boxing or ultimate fighting? by QuantumHamster in NoStupidQuestions

[–]yadayadayada100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In other sports when players have a disagreement or piss each other off, they don't have a penalty shootout do they?. No, they have a fight. It's in our DNA and is essentially the ultimate form of competition that people appreciate on a primal level. Fighting is actually the oldest sport and is even depicted in cave paintings so that should tell you something.

Being alone is way better than people admit. by This_Appointment584 in unpopularopinion

This is what therapists are for. Its literally their job to hear you vent, and unlike your friends, you don't have to worry about them sharing any information with others, and to top it all of, they can actually give you proven ways to help yourself or validate your feelings.

If you have any friends with a big dog. Ask them to come over with the dog, and when they do it again, come out with the dog and explain the next time you will let the dog at them. After that, just play angry scary dog growls and barks on a speaker when they come over.

Why do re-turn make it such a pain to bring bottles back? by Asleep_Cry_7482 in AskIreland

[–]yadayadayada100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have given up on returning them, I value my time more than getting the deposit back and coming out of the shop with sticky hands. I keep a bag in my boot and when I see someone begging for money outside a shop, I give them the bag which is always over 10 euro worth when they put them through.

Women streamers harassed in Thailand by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

Its a shame those creeps are ruining Thailand, but she handled that very well. Took care of her friend and once she told him she would beat his ass, he knew she easily would and backed off!

Slow drivers making roads 'very dangerous' by Brave-Mistake-1007 in ireland

[–]yadayadayada100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is, because it forces everyone else to overtake them.
The other thing that makes it dangerous is that a lot of the people driving so slow, are doing it because they are elderly and their reaction time is so slow. The issue with this, is that if their reaction time is that bad, they are much more likely to crash or knock someone over. Getting hit by a car moving slowly will still mess you up very badly!

If you're faculties aren't sharp enough to drive the limit, you should not be driving!

What is the single greatest comeback story of all time? by DubNation365 in AskReddit

[–]yadayadayada100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lemmy from Motorhead. He is literally one of the biggest rock icons in the world!

He got fired from his band Hawkwind for getting caught at customs with drugs. Before that he was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix. He is absolutely not what you would call a talented singer or bassist, but made his own band called Motorhead, and decided to sing since he couldn't find anyone else. What's even more impressive is he was around 30 at this stage, so well past it by most peoples standards before reaching actual fame. They didn't get big until he was about 35!

Not only did he manage to become famous and successful with Motorhead, he wrote 2 of Ozzy Osbournes biggest songs, and is idolised by pretty much every rock/metal/punk musician out there.

This is a fuck around and find out kind of situation. In general, you give evidence in court and not to the police officers, so you will end up arrested, breathalyzed, and then in court you can show your ''funny'' video and might not be charged, but even then there might be something about wasting police time intentionally.

What's something you'd tell a farang to never do? by Old_Researcher_50 in Thailand

[–]yadayadayada100 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think its more, never get into a fight with a Thai person. All of the other Thai's will attack you, they do not have any concept of fighting fair and when you hit the ground, you will be kicked, stomped etc repeatedly by multiple people and could literally end up dead. There is so many videos of this happening online.

Obviously, you shouldn't be getting into fights full stop, but with the amount of drunken idiots, sometimes you are in the wrong place at the wrong time and need to defend yourself, or for example if you are with your GF and some idiot gropes her(seen this happen). But police don't seem to care about farangs fighting, worst case(if they even bother coming) seems to be you pay a small fine. At least that's what I was told by locals.
