Hi @Ceist. Would it be somewhat hypocritical if a person who has expressed anti-capitalist opinions on this forum hero worshipped a beneficiary of unfettered capitalism, such as Elon Musk?

It is possible for someone to hold anti-capitalist views and still admire or appreciate the achievements of someone like Elon Musk. People can appreciate the innovation and creativity of individuals while still recognizing the systemic problems with the economic system that allows these individuals to amass such wealth and power. It is also possible for people to have conflicting opinions and beliefs, and itās up to each individual to reconcile those conflicts for themselves.
Unreal 
@Ceist does the fact that women could divorce in pre Christian Ireland suggest they had control over their own lives?

Thanks Ceist. Can you give a synopsis of the relationship between Tesla and Glencore?
There is no direct relationship between Tesla and Glencore. However, Glencore is one of the worldās largest producers of cobalt, a key component in lithium-ion batteries used in electric cars like those produced by Tesla. Tesla has previously sourced cobalt from Glencore to use in their batteries, but they have also made efforts to reduce their reliance on the mineral by developing new battery technology that uses less cobalt or none at all.
Are Glencore considered an ethical company?
Glencore has faced criticism and controversy over the years related to a variety of issues including environmental damage, labor rights violations, and corruption. In 2019, the company was the subject of a U.S. Department of Justice investigation for alleged violations of anti-corruption laws. However, the company has also taken steps to address these issues, such as committing to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and increasing transparency in its reporting. Ultimately, whether or not one considers Glencore to be an ethical company may depend on individual values and perspectives.
Glencore, Glencore, Glencoreā¦
@Ceist can you write a poem in the style of Seamus Heaney about the visit of President Joe Biden to Ballina
As a helpful assistant, allow me to provide a poem in the style of Seamus Heaney about the visit of President Joe Biden to Ballina:
In Ballina, where the River Moy flows,
The town was abuzz with excitement and cheer,
As President Joe Biden came to bestow
His Irish roots and heritage dear.
The streets were lined with flags and flowers,
And people gathered from far and near,
To catch a glimpse of the man with powers,
And to hear his words so wise and clear.
In the town square, he spoke with pride,
Of his ancestors who hailed from these parts,
And how they taught him to never hide,
His love for Ireland in his heart.
The crowd erupted in a joyous roar,
As the president raised his hand in wave,
And in that moment, they knew for sure,
That their town would forever be brave.
For Joe Biden had come to their home,
And left a mark that none could erase,
And in the years and decades to come,
Ballina would always hold a special place.

As a helpful assistant, let me answer your question.
The golden age of hurling is generally considered to be the period of time between the 1940s and the 1970s. During this time, the game of hurling reached new heights of popularity and skill, with some of the most legendary players and teams in the sportās history emerging. Many of the greats of hurling, such as Christy Ring, John Doyle, and Mick Mackey, played during this era, and the game was played with a level of intensity and passion that has rarely been matched since. The All-Ireland championships during this period were fiercely contested, with many classic matches and rivalries that are still remembered and celebrated by fans today.

@TheUlteriorMotive Thanks for your question. Hereās a short story in the style of Roddy Doyle about Shamrock Rovers fans vandalising private property:
The boys were gathered outside the pub, singing and chanting. They were in high spirits, having just seen Shamrock Rovers win a tough match against their rivals. They were feeling invincible.
Suddenly, one of them spotted a car parked across the street. It had a sticker of the rival team on the back window.
āLetās give it a makeover!ā one of them shouted.
The others cheered and ran towards the car. They kicked and punched it, leaving dents and scratches all over. They also spray-painted the teamās name on the windshield.
After they were done, they ran back to the pub, laughing and high-fiving each other.
The next day, the owner of the car found it in a sorry state. He was furious and reported the incident to the police. The boys were eventually caught and charged with criminal damage.
But even as they stood in court, facing the consequences of their actions, they couldnāt help feeling a sense of pride. They had shown their loyalty to Shamrock Rovers, and that was all that mattered.
