  • my wife is currently in germany (north) as her dad died and she had to get rid of a ton of stuff. she said kleinanzeigen is barely active and she couldnt get rid of a bunch of things (anything from a big tv to collectables). she thinks the culture of buying used just isnt in vogue.. here in ireland, adverts.ie is absolutely thriving

  • nice bro, someone announces they're reluctantly coming closer to our camp- attack them! good job

  • just checked that out, thank you

  • yeah it fuckin sucks. you dont need to believe it or not, I swear to you (it also happened to my wife, Im a US citizen and she isn't) this was in the dublin ireland departures when you go to the states. you actually go through immigration when youre still in ireland. so you go down an escalator to a specific part of the airport thats sectioned off from the rest for this. walking up to the desk, before i had a chance to take my passport out of my bag, while I was still about 10 feet away, he TSA agent said "hello [name]" they did the same thing to my wife. its disarming as youre not expecting it. there's no knowing where in the line the facial recognition already took place. the idea you can consent/not consent is almost certainly purely theater.

  • ok thank you, exclamation, bracket bracket then the link in parenthesis

  • I had a TSA agent say my name as I walked up to the booth. They 100% scanned me before I was in earshot of the agent.

  • yo you mean the secret book and record store yeah? I think I've bought one book and about 10 records from there.. actually I bought a copy of a Mountain Goats record before I realized I can't stand them- does anybody in Dublin wanna buy a copy of a Mountain Goats LP

  • I think there's a good chance this is two metal panels from a garbage bin lying on the ground with a Jelly Belly brand car air freshener that was thrown away lying on them:

    edit: someone helped me

    If anyone can tell me how to post links to images that actually show up in the thread like the polly pocket post I'd be obliged

  • uh huh.

  • thats fresh

  • I haven't heard anyone say "Something Rocks" in a very long time. Would you mind giving me a roundabout age and rough geographical ara for yourself (not for the kicking in of doors at 3am dissenter roundup squad, no, just to know where there is a guy who still says "rocks" )

  • I quite literally remember having teachers in elementary school teaching about the holocaust/hitler and asking the class if if they could foresee this happening in the US. Every kid shoot their head and chuckled assuredly, how absurd to even consider.

    I still remember the look on Mrs. Begasto's face of "oh yeah? so confident, I know something you don't, I know the world in a way you are entirely naive to." I didn't understand why she felt that way, but I could tell she was certain about something I didn't get. The closer we edge to a fearful, uneducated public thinking a bully king is what would be good for the country and the world the more I find myself thinking about Mrs. Begasto's worried smirk.

  • Im moreso talking about news headlines. Leaving the EU was an incredibly serious situation and the news media made a cutsie pun nickname for it and said it on TV with a straight face.

    Just as a side point, saying "someone else also does it!" doesn't further anyone's understanding of anything in my opinion.

  • I live in Ireland- the UK press, and to an extent, possibly as an effect, the general public, use these infantilized, gross ass cutsie words to describe things. Footie (football). Chockie (chocolate). It makes me nauseated.

  • isn't that exactly what trimp is saying it'll be like for america

  • I live in Dublin (NOT UK but there are many similarities) and this drives me fucking crazy. We have teensy-weensy little roads all through the city. they have made it so there's parking on both sides of these little roads, and they are two-way streets. This is just possible for two smaller cars, like a civic or a yaris to squeeze by one another.

    enter the one person in a range rover or BMW suv and everybody's gotta fucking wait for these hulking ICE powered shit boxes to clear the road.

    Forget parking at shopping centres with them around as well. They will stick out in the front or back, which takes up two spots, of course. Full sized American pick up trucks have started to show up, also, not a blemish in the flatbed.

    The road taxes are based on weight, so they do pay significantly more than I will with my 1.4l engine, but not enough for them to not care that they cant see things that are in front of them, that they'd kill every occupant of a normal sized care they hit (its a big part of why they report to like owning them, for "safety" read: killing a family of 4 in a corolla with my truck that I use to drive to work alone)

    I do not like it!

  • hey asshole, trade wars are good, and easy to win!

    i swear to god you can get in line behind our eternally healthy, young, sexy god-king or you can get ooooout

  • yeah well being from pennsylvania I would have no trouble believing it. philly is philly, and pittsburgh was barely democratic leaning, but drive 40 minutes in ANY direction and you might as well be in kentucky.

    Once, up in clinton township, I was standing in a doorway of my uncle's house and his neighbor said "are you white?" and i said "yeah" and he demanded I come out into the light so he could see me. I was about 11 years old. I was terrified.

  • what part of the country do you live in? Im from PA but I moved to Ireland a good long while back
