Protesters in Key West today (OC) by joecooool418 in pics

[–]JS-Rain 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. I had a bunch of people lose it at me for calling it genital mutilation and saying it's nowhere near FGM. While true, it still is what it is and I wasn't speaking on FGM at all. Neither should ever be practiced.

Any suggestions on how to get this shite off my car? by Darth_Memer_1916 in ireland

This is a strong reaction that I assume is based on more than the sticker? What happened??

Merch from the Ireland show by TThroesOfPerdition in Trivium

[–]JS-Rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venues including those in Ireland and Europe are taking a 25-30% cut of merch sales now. Then you take out the label cut, manager cut, pay the designer, manufacturer and crew, the band are making only a small portion of the 40 that's charged. The criminal aspect here is the amount that gets taken from the artist.

For sure! I don't expect anyone to be one. But there's a big difference between not quite a role model and domestic abuser imo.

Steve Austin's multiple domestic violence incidents are largely ignored and that's gross.

Oh I understand that. This is my first car. I'm in my late 20s and used public transport/walked to work my whole life. The cost isn't the issue here because I'm, thankfully, financially stable enough to maintain the costs. It's the time cost that's getting to me. 5 months backlog means the system is broken. I believe it's been criticised in the dail this week even.

My tester today said they're flat out doing approximately 10 tests per day so just the system itself that can't keep up.

I bought the car this year and paid for the lessons, insurance, tax, nct and driving test. I'm not about to pack it in now for an e-bike that's for sure but if I was at the start again, I would consider one.

Would take about an 50 mins and need to bring equipment in a bag every day. It is possible but practical, especially with Irish weather, not really

Due to the camber of the road, my car rolled back the tiniest bit and bumped the curb with one back tire when doing my 3 point turn. It was so light you could barely feel it but that's an instant fail. Lashing rain. 2 cars watching me do it.

For the most part they cover what's on the lessons in order however as you get further up the lessons the topics get more broad

I'll have to give this a try because I do need my car to get to work about twice a week (WFH 3 days). I've been taking or 2 buses to get there or when the buses don't show up a painfully expensive taxi.

Just got my new MKH Custom and I’m loving it by MIW132 in Trivium

[–]JS-Rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because it's the same. The only scale length difference is on the 7 string.

with all this talk about emissions I'd like to point out Taylor swift has emitted over 8,000 tons of co2 this year flying around. the average person emits only 7 tons a year. its absolutely disgusting how its always pushed on the average person to be mindful of their carbon footprint by IM_KING_OF_THE_DUCKS in ireland

[–]JS-Rain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read today that those aren't her emissions but her jet's which is often rented by others. Still any private jet emissions isn't good but the figures in this article are skewed by ownership rather than their own number of trips.

Any one else get the backorder message? 😞 by soopahfingerzz in Trivium

There were huge production delays around the world but rest assured they did their best with the launch to supply the guitar internationally, not just the US. They're already ramping up production to meet demand going forward. They're producing them to a high standard so it takes a bit longer. I'd much rather that than people receiving guitars that aren't up to scratch.

If you've ever met an Irish 'celebrity', who were they and what were they like? by RobinDaytona in ireland

[–]JS-Rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met Philomena Lynnot backstage at The Darkness concert in 2004/05.

I was 14 or so and my friend and I were waiting for my uncle who was working the pyro crew hence why we had backstage passes. We were just sitting chatting and I guess she noticed the two kids sitting by themselves and came to talk to us. Couldn't have been a nicer lady. She made sure we were ok and chatted with us for a little bit before going back to the people she was with.

A truly wonderful woman.

Does Zero Build not have SBMM? I got put into a match with fucking Ninja by SnipFred in FortNiteBR

[–]JS-Rain 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I ended up in a 1v1, last two alive with Poach in chapter 1. I'd seen him in the kill feed basically clean out the top 10. I'm decent but not pro level so I was panicking. I hit him a few times with ar shots then he built cover, healed up and launch padded on me. I hit him while he was in the air with a hunting rifle shot so he landed a bit further away and started healing. It was my only chance to win so I pushed then and there and he basically just beat me in a build fight.

I watched his stream back after and it went like "oh there's only one person left, wonder where they are...there they are. Oh he hit me in mid air, this might actually be a good fight...nevermind."

I mentioned in chat that it was me and he was very friendly and said I did well despite moments before saying it wasn't a difficult fight .

Yeah i just got on and it's completely messed up. I'm over rotating on all my quick shots. It's like all my settings are different. This is like the 10th time they've changed how the game feels on controller. For all the kbm complainers, I'd like to see how happy they would be to be forced to use a new sens that many times.

Who is an actor whose presence in a movie will make you not watch the movie? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JS-Rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Michael Fassbender because of his domestic violence background that is completely ignored for some reason.
