Inchicore? Really?

I lived there for 2 years. Easy commute, cycle or walk. Cheap. Plenty of two bed houses with 40+ foot gardens for the dog. Stay out of the village itself obviously but perfectly fine on bulfin road or near SCR.

It depends what you're looking for and what you want to spend.

Game of Thrones - season finale

SPOILER

Can't fucking believe the episode. I didn't mind Stannis after what he did to Shireen but to then kill Myrcella and finally Jon Snow

Everything has been left up in the air, with Theon and Sansa jumping from a window and Daenerys left surrounded with horsemen. Even poor Arya is in poor shape! Have they any major characters left?

Even started to feel sorry for Cersei with the walk of shame part!

Jon will be fine. Melisandre will revive him. No coincidence that she heads back to castle black just before he dies. She will put her efforts into him since she was wrong about Stannis. Way too much put into his story and loads of foreshadowing throughout the season for him to actually be dead.

That was the Dothraki surrounding Daenerys. They'll probably pledge allegiance to her or something silly.

I was chatting to my cousin and said I thought they were Dothraki

I think the fact that Jon is IMO the child of Lyanna Stark and a Targaryen will mean something big if I was right with my guess. I wondered about her sudden appearance but knew she would be shitting it after what happened with Stannis's wife etc.

When she was at Castle black she saw something in him and think she will get her claws in somehow. Was just weird how they left everything hanging!
I wanted Davos to kill Stannis and was disappointed it was Brienne that got the job. Was glad to see half his army deserted after last week lol

Yeah think about this one: The Dothraki are a horse-riding warrior culture. Dany's flying, fire-breathing horse will impress the shit out of them. She already speaks their language and understands their culture. She will have a new army soon.

Yeah the theory of L+R=J probably is correct about Jon. He's now dead so his watch is over, revive him and he's free. I thought he might head to Winterfell with the Wildlings and help Stannis, then become King in the North til he is told about his parentage and right to the Iron Throne. Who actually knows though? Benjen? Varys? Can't remember. Tyrion is probably half Targaryen too. No idea what will happen.

I think Melisandre left because she knew Stannis would lose the next battle and must not be her ''chosen one''. Bit weird that the camera cut away and we didn't see Stannis dead.

10 months til it's back, Guess I'll watch it all again twice and read the books.

There is someone alive in the world who was present for Jon's birth - Howland Reed (Meera and Jojen's Dad). He was last seen at Greywater Watch, not far from Moat Cailin.

There's also lots of reasons to believe that all the clues to Jon's parentage are in Lyanna's grave in the crypts at Winterfell. The show has reinforced this in a big way by drawing attention to it seemingly unnecessarily.

Good going, I often wonder how vegetarians feel about chicken wings. Is eating them seen, from their viewpoint, as worse because animals die to make up a portion. (Dobby ate 14+ birds). Or are they morally a better choice to avoid anything going to waste? I'd imagine ireland in a consumes a lot of breasts joints than any other.

Is beef less morally offensive, as a typical cow will provide maybe 1000 portions. Where as a chicken might only provide 6 or so.

Now I know this sounds redic but he is 500 to 1 with top 6 paid for the US Open. He has already won a seniors Major this year so is on some kind of form. For a 500 to 1 shot I'm saying he is worth a fiver EW 1/4 the odds top 6.

Very linksy. Looks like they are trying to do something different anyway. It does make for fascinating viewing/betting. The long hitters don't really benefit as much as they normally do so it really is an OPEN tourny. Get your monies on a shotmaker.

*(Wild kangaroos need to be culled for to keep the troop healthy. My argument was that it's not wrong to eat this meat, as they are killed regardless. It's likely morally wrong to not eat it imo)

You are inviting a thesis, I'll try to keep it brief, apparently I'm not paid to post here. (I'm not sure why your thread would be deleted, we currently thirst for people to ask fucking anything that isn't about food.) For me, since causing less suffering is the aim* that comes into play. From one angle all of it is not ok, then you break it down and think what causes the most harm. Something like 100 million birds are killed in Ireland every year alone, a meal of chicken causes more kills than a meal for beef. Since I think I want to avoid both it becomes defunct, but when you get down to the more nitty gritty stuff where maybe the issue is more borderline in their mind, do I give up eggs or cheese first for instance, it would be at the front of my thoughts. People may say what is wrong with eating eggs? Eggs are probably the one thing I could find myself eating that would be ethical under certain scenarios (maybe oysters too) however when you look into the industry you realise eating eggs could be worse than eating beef. This is because all male chicks are ground to death alive at birth, so that's half their population thrown in a grinder to support the egg industry, literally billions of lives. Then you ask yourself, well do the baby chickens matter as much as x and etc, but also ask yourself if you are giving something up which has a greater impact to those around you. Nobody thinks much of somebody not eating eggs, it's very different than meat in society. Not only this not eating meat has a bigger influence on yourself than not eating eggs and there is a lot of research that behavior change leads to change in thoughts, for instance there is a world of difference in what I was thinking eating meat and now, because I am not invested in eating meat, I find myself more receptive. I think there is a larger disconnect eating eggs or cheese.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0VrZPBskpg

I have also thought a lot about your thoughts on the morals of meat that is "dead anyway", things like roadkill, I have no moral problems eating things like that, it is less of a minefield to discuss as people could argue about the relationship between wildlife and humans and culling, the general mindset, not that it isn't an interesting debate. Similar when people have leftovers, is it ok to eat the meat? yes I believe it is. Some caveats, this may lead to a "slippery slope", also people would see you eating it and not understand, I also realise it is not possible for people to live in a perfectly moral way. By this i mean your attitude towards things change the longer you are divested from taking part in something. I always thought I would have no problem eating meat ever, leftovers, roadkill, culled kangaroos, however last week I was given a "house special" instead of "vegetable" dish, basically every meat you can imagine in there. I could not eat it, coming from somebody that ate steak at every meal, that is a big shift, while realising it is wasteful and morally wrong/right to do something I have to take into account that they are just human and have to be realistic about expectation.

*I hate the words vegetarian and vegan because of this, they are like some level you reach and now you are morally ok and better than everybody. No, that invites complacency and also conflict with people thinking you think you are better than them, it is just a huge spectrum, I will never be done trying to be better at "being better" than I am, and realise people can do different levels of effort realistically. Further reading I also invite people to read Peter Singer for further thoughts.

@Tar, if you were the only person in that restaurant, and if you didn't eat that House Special it would go in the bin, couldn't you make the moral argument that you should have eaten it?

[Tar.Aldarion]

@Tar, if you were the only person in that restaurant, and if you didn't eat that House Special it would go in the bin, couldn't you make the moral argument that you should have eaten it?

That was the argument I already made, sorry if it was not clear. I feel that yes, people should eat it but realise that is not possible for everybody, I thought I'd be able to but I wasn't. Same as how i don't expect people to start eating dead people
The point is not to be some sort of holier than thou saint person, but for people to do the best they personally are able to and to not worry over the minor things like "Oh god I should have eating that I'm so wasteful", that kind of rigid thinking is offputting and leads to a black and white all or nothing approach to ethics which I feel is harmful.

[Emmet]

So if I order something 'by a mistake' and then therefore have to eat it, I can still call myself a vegan right?
