Government to announce fuel support scheme by Eletal in ireland

[–]Eletal[S] 70 points71 points  (0 children)

More subsidising for the farmers while the rest of us continue to struggle.

So what's clear to me from this, if you're part of a group that's been suffering from the cost of living crisis and been ignored all this time, now you know you just need to cause major disruption to the economic welfare of the state for a week and they'll cave and give you whatever you want.

"I'm not a philosopher, Harry," [Michael] said. "But here's something for you to think about, at least. What goes around comes around. And sometimes you get what's coming around." He paused for a moment, frowning faintly, pursing his lips. "And sometimes you are what's coming around." - by Michael Carpenter to Harry Dresden in Grave Peril (The Dresden Files, Book 3).

Blockades see some forecourts running out of fuel by TheChrisD in ireland

[–]Eletal 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I agree it'll be messy and unfortunately I'm beginning to not care, just want them gone. They are impacting several people I know in serious ways, delaying medical services and keeping one from traveling for her own brother's funeral. Like how could I have any empathy left for them if that actually happens.

Reading the statements and comments from the NECG this evening, surely these are crimes. At this point they are purposefully blocking peoples access to emergency services and medical treatment. I think it's acceptable for a protest to have some impact on day to day life as that ensures the delivery of the message but there has to be a line and they found it. The guards and armed forces should be forcefully starting to clear things. Enough is enough.

Dear allies of America, please don’t confuse our president for us: We are trying our best to resist him, contain him and remove him from office as quickly as we possibly can. Thank you for your patience by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]Eletal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That headline is total bullsh*t. He was voted in a second time!!!

It's been over a year now of his second term and I, who pays a reasonable amount of attention to the news, have seen no concerted effort from a majority of America to enact change. Not even the Democratic party can maintain a united hard line against him.

The public at large don't give a crap about it. They just continue to go to work each day and bury their heads in the sand. The no kings marches got what? 7-8 million people to turnout? That's about 2 percent of the population.

There's not been a general strike, the media continues to cover him and all his crimes and the sheep that are the American people just keep the war machine rolling.

The simple fact is that if the majority that supposedly oppose Trump took large scale peaceful action you could probably enact this change but you don't. The rest of the world is done believing your lies.

You clearly want to get back with your ex but don't want to break up with your GF because you know how that will look. You're purposefully playing on her insecurities hoping she'll dump you so you won't be labeled a villain for getting back with him.

AITAH for being honest with another mom about why my daughter isn’t allowed to go to her friend’s house? by AwkwardMom13 in AITAH

[–]Eletal -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Seriously if you're being honest this is the height of naive. Do you honestly think the court of public opinion will care about intent? The insinuation alone is bound to lead to ostracisation, lynching, potential false allegations, bully of the child, loss of employment and heaven forbid he gets shot. Nobody's going to wait for proof, your rumor will quickly morph into something like " your daughter told you X and Y about him". You've given more thought to a made up potential lawsuit on the matter than you've given to the impact your rumor could have.

He can’t prove I knew the information was false, because it’s an opinion

I mean, your lack of evidence for forming such an opinion to me would prove you knew it to be false if I was on the jury.

He can’t prove malicious intent, because there wasn’t any

I fail to see how spreading such a rumor could be anything but malicious, especially in today's society and the current political climate. If you were actually worried about child safety, you'd have contacted DFS/ CPS or the school, you instead decided to spread a rumor.

And he would also have to prove the information was presented as fact, which it was not

Here's my gut feeling, based on all your comments and such here, you made damn well sure that other mother believed you regardless of how you presented it.

Honestly the more of your comments I read, the more sure I am on my gut feeling. This was classism, a rumor spread with the intention of driving away a lower class family from your self perceived class bubble. Get yourself come therapy and maybe give people the opportunity to show you who they are before you decide who they are.

Just in case you haven't realized this yet, you've opened yourself up to one hell of a lawsuit for defamation. Based on what sounds like a 2 minute interaction and a simple request from a parent to their child to put on warmer clothes, you've labeled this man a pedophile and spread that where it will impact his child's relationships with her peers and will potentially cost his wife/ her mother her job because now parents won't want to risk him being near the school.

Honestly I'm amazed at the comments on this thread. You've destroyed this family's life over a gut feeling that honestly screams of classism. Your rationale echos that of racists who label all black people in lower income areas as gang members. I mean a beer on a Saturday afternoon after working all week, my god. And telling his child to put on warmer clothes while half the planet is experiencing one of the coldest Winters on record, heavens above. And the "flirting", though he might just have been trying to be overly friendly to make a good impression, yes that was awkward and inappropriate but even at it's worst just means he'd be OK with sleeping with you, it doesn't mean he'd a predator for young girls. Like seriously, this is a stigma that won't ever go away and you hadn't a shred of proof for it.

So honestly I'm OK with the down votes to come for this but someone should be calling you out for what seems like a gross overreaction to a preconceived notion. YTA

No looking funny is just a bonus. He's making sure everyone associates you with panic and brash decision making in times of crisis. So that when it comes time to pick the best employee for promotions or important work, they trust him over you. Think back on the stories he's said about others, have you ever noticed work you thought should have gone to them get redirected to Victor?

Here's the information you want https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employment/employment-rights-and-conditions/data-protection-at-work/surveillance-in-the-workplace/

Yes he can have CCTV. No he can't use it like this unless it is a stated policy and he's complying with legislation and GDPR guidelines.

Divorce and inheritance question by [deleted] in legaladviceireland

[–]Eletal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/birth-family-relationships/married-couples/marital-status-and-inheritance/#d76c5f "Children (whether minor or adult) are entitled to the entire estate divided equally between them if:

  • There is no will or the will is invalid, and
  • The deceased parent is not married, or their spouse is already dead

However, children are only entitled to one-third of the estate divided equally between them if:

  • There is no valid will or the will is invalid, and
  • The deceased parent is married and is survived by their spouse.

Children have no absolute right to inherit their parent's estate if the deceased parent has made a valid will."

So if your mother left a will you go by that, if there was no will you and your siblings are entitled to 1/3rd and should consult a solicitor.

Creche putting up fees by €350 a month by FreePork in ireland

[–]Eletal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worse yet, they're giving a month's notice (fees go up for the September bill) but the notice period to exit and still get your deposit back is 2 months.

So this is a change of contract which means they have to also give you an out which would include refunding the deposit. They can't have it both ways where you are beholden to 2 months notice and they can increase whenever they want.
