The move has been heavily criticised by Taoiseach Micheál Martin who described it as “excessive”.

    As someone who doesn’t have any social media, aside from this place, I always wonder what the reaction would be to me.

      from my experience dealing with nosy wouldbe-employers and being on an immigrant watchlist:

      they don’t believe for a second you don’t use social media; and if you don’t, then you did at some point, and they’ll find it; and if they don’t find it, then that’s suspicious, because obviously everyone uses social media, so you must be a criminal, using some dark web social media. and then you get credit checked forty times, only for them to find you have no debt and thus no credit score, and then they just assume you’re not a real person and call the cops.

      Especially your Lemmy profile. When you have to explain “federated” to USBP, you know they’re 5 minutes from welcoming you to the US with open arms.

        I am no one, but I lost all respect for players after Qatar. They and their fans will walk on dead bodies to any popular event. FIFA just has to lay on the red carpet over the bodies.

        2018 Russia, 2022 Qatar, 2026 US(Canda/Mexico), … 2034 Saudi Arabia

        It’s not looking good Fifa.

          Although it will be kind of funny if the 2026 Canada and Mexico games are packed while no one shows up for the US games.

            Not unlikely, the turnout for the Club World Cup which is happening in the US right now has been terrible.

            You had PSG, the winner of the champions leage (think football super bowl) take on Athetico (one of the probably top 10 teams on earth), in LA, the second biggest city in the US, and they couldn’t even fill up the stadium 😭.

              Wait there’s a big futbol thing happening in LA? People in LA don’t even know.
