Can people of #aras25 confirm or not that we are still experiencing issues with the feed? Sorry for the lack of communication on my end the last week. Dealing with a family emergency over here

I honestly don't get the extent of the criticism. She is the best candidate being put forward by a country mile

No.

It's the election for the Head of State. The person should be known and have experience already. Getting 20 Oireachtas members or 4 local authorities isn't a stretch for anyone who should have the experience and knowledge to take on the role of Uachtarán na hÉireann. #Spéirghorm

Several of this year’s Áras hopefuls have voiced their frustration over how difficult it is to get on the ballot by way of local authority nominations.

So, tell us what you think – is it too difficult to get on the presidential ballot?

Is it too difficult to get on the presidential ballot?

With many parties backing their own candidates, just three councils have so far endorsed anyone in this year’s presidential race.

Hello folks of #aras25. I figured out the issue with the feed, its limitations with the free tier. I will upgrade the account tomorrow for the year and that should sort it. Apologies for the dip in service. Thanks for your patience

Disgusting 🤮

This whistleblower is being driven through hell by those with BAJILLIONS of money, networks & power for exposing sexual harassment & dastardly abuse of people using their platform.

If there's one thing this presidential campaign has revealed it's that we've done a fucking woeful job of teaching civics in this country #spéirgorm

Oh wow Sam Altman was wrong. The man who suggested that Dyson Spheres would solve the energy crisis. Imagine my shock

youre too smart for me chief. youre so smart you dont even need to read books. you just dream the truth into existence

Igo @igo107.bsky.social · 29d

oh but you do though. that's why we haven't debated the original issue ever since =D youre of course free to carry on as you are if that suits you. doesn't seem to be suiting you though. you seem to be getting quite upset

Igo @igo107.bsky.social · 29d

trust. thanks for the lols. not seen a self own like that in a hot min

Igo @igo107.bsky.social · 29d

you need to show me that you know what you are talking about before I consider you worth debating yeah. Very basic stuff there big man.

Igo @igo107.bsky.social · 29d

😂

Igo @igo107.bsky.social · 29d

dont worry big man. no one needed your blessing on that one. anyway i thought i was talking to an actual human. lesson learned. keep the spirits up

Igo @igo107.bsky.social · 29d

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Igo @igo107.bsky.social · 29d

did you just admit your comments were generated by AI? 🤣

Igo @igo107.bsky.social · 29d

I will. Imagine trying to defend the position that "my ignorance is equal to your knowledge" wild stuff chief.

Igo @igo107.bsky.social · 29d

Oh if you are going to try and call me out I am for sure going to defend myself. Insecure men are always such whiny babies with perpetual victim complexes

Igo @igo107.bsky.social · 29d

I never mentioned sexism. Carry on

Igo @igo107.bsky.social · 29d

No it isn't at all. I myself hold no qualifications, nor do I work a full time job as I am disabled. I dont speak Irish either by the way. I simply request that you show some aptitude for understanding the thing you are trying to argue against in order to be taken seriously
