    Discuss and Rate the Last Thing You Watched (non-movies)

    After finishing it I can honestly say I prefer this one in a lot of ways. It's a much more grown up look at relationships than the manic pixie dream girl stuff of the original. I enjoyed the books and movie but they're definitely a product of the time.

    Well, Dublin is burning

    Conor McGregor has already been using the Ashling Murphy case to whip people into a fury. Posting about how we're at war. Encouraging the behaviour on Thursday and then, presumably after a call from his solicitor, quickly disavowing the riots on twitter yesterday. Farage can go fuck himself...

    I'm on the 3rd episode now. Enjoying it so far. Honestly I loved the book, the movie is one of my favourites and honestly (without spoilers) I don't mind that they have changed things. The books and movie still exist. This version is great in it's own way. Honestly better in a lot of ways.

    Well, Dublin is burning

    After an incredibly tragic knife attack at a school where 3 children and 2 adults were injured, anti-immigrant rioters have proceeded to assault police, destroy businesses, burn out police cars and public transport. All less than 24 hours after Conor McGregor tweeted that "we are at war"...

    It's ok to be angry about capitalism

    As far as Europe goes, Ireland fucking sucks for healthcare. But christ on a bike the US horrifies me.

    They fired the Escapist's editor, and the video team, Yahtzee resigns

    Oh shit. That's a shame. I knew it went under but I figured it was just a case of these things usually fail and way too many people think they can run a hospitality business and then they see the margins and the work hours and realise they have made a terrible mistake. But yeah I used to play...

    What happened with Mana Bar? That news show was pretty good at the time I remember enjoying it. Unpolished but promising.

    Would you still drink milk if cows were anthropomorphic?

    Hell yeah I have. I actually introduced my ex to them when I mentioned them casually and she thought I was a lunatic. Tried a root beer float shortly after. First time having root beer... There's something wrong with you guys. I'd rather drink Irn Bru.šŸ˜‚ I guess as a country we have a lot of...

    Would you still drink milk if cows were anthropomorphic?

    So I think it may have just been here in Ireland but there was once a drink called "Smooth 'n' Juicy". It was milk and orange juice. Literally the only references to it I can find are old post on r/ireland. Apparently we have completely memory holed it as a nation but it was very real. There was...

    Wow. So I just had a quick skim of that thread about the guide to suicide and lo and behold there's Houseman asking "how about this situation for having sex with children?". Yeah real good fucking forum filled with people who definitely aren't scumbags there you guys. So just to be real clear...

    And so much more fart sniffing. But no. Do tell me exactly what it would take for you to molest a child. Great discussion to be had there.

    Oh wow sure am glad that forum exists to, what was it again? Allow people "to explore new horizons and strive to broaden their mind and be better people. More informed. More knowledgeable. More responsible and powerful." As usual, that actually means behave like a fucking scrotum.

    STEAM vs STEM, Liberal Arts vs Everyone Else, Everyone is Acting in Bad Faith etc.

    That's kind of my point though. Demand is always going to affect wages.

    STEAM vs STEM, Liberal Arts vs Everyone Else, Everyone is Acting in Bad Faith etc.

    I remember talking to friends of mine, one in banking, one in insurance, about automation and AI. And saying that odds are their jobs will be automated before mine. I'm a barista/coffee roaster currently and while machines are certainly doing my job we're a long way off them doing it as well...
