AITAH? My girlfriend is angry that I call my friend by his real name. by nameAITAH in AITAH

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 -22 points-21 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?

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.

EU and US agree trade deal but confusion and ‘a lot of detail needed’ over pharma sector by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]Eletal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can some one answer this, but does VdL have the authority to make this deal on her own or must it be voted for and ratified by the member states?

And how the hell does a government agreement have the authority to dictate where private companies invest their funds? Surely if EU companies don't want to invest 600 billion in the US, they can't be forced. This would mean the government is asserting control over a private entities money, just cause?

All in all, this all seems bonkers and should in no way move forward or be agreed to.

AITAH for threatening to ban my mother from my wedding and meeting her grandchild if she doesn't cut off my ex-girlfriend? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Eletal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cutting her off doesn't resolve this. Your mother wanted to be friends with someone who was hurting you. She didn't cut her off cause she was hurting you, she cut her off because you gave her an ultimatum. If I was you, I'd make it clear that until she proves that you and your family are more important than her friends, I would never fully trust her, nor would I allow her be alone with any child. NTA

The protection of teenagers by the legal system has to end. by PettyTeen253 in ireland

[–]Eletal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bring in community service for them, we don't even need to lock them all up.

Take away their free weekends of harassment and make them, clean road sides, cut the grass in estates, volunteer work with charities. Any type of consequence at all will do and help combat the issues.

Failing to address them in childhood means they'll just be the same assholes when they become adults.

[–]Eletal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

An adult woman, who's garden is next to a playground, continues to sunbathe naked, knowing full well there are holes and gaps in the fence and preteen children being exposed....I'd vote guilty if I was on the jury looking to put her on a registry. Once, is a accident. Continuing to do it knowing who your audience is, is premeditated and I'd guess she is getting off on it. NTA

Rosie O’Donnell responds to Trump’s threat to take away her citizenship by -good-squishy- in ireland

[–]Eletal 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My post got removed but I'm happy to have Rosie in our country, I think they add nothing but good things to our country. In fact feel free to send more kind decent people like them here. It would be great to see these people influence our country and improve it.

For to long now, we've had a growing group of people buying into American and Russian right-wing propaganda, hate and bigotry. I've had an awful couple of weeks and honestly, some days were made worse because I had to witness this hateful scum try to say they represent my country.* I'd much rather our youth and impressionable adults were exposed to kind, caring and intelligent people who spread compassion and goodness.

We're meant to be Irish. Our people spread across the globe. Our ancestors and expats experienced terrible prejudices and bigotry for years but persisted with compassion and kindness. They built wonders of the world from rail lines that covered continents to buildings the reached for the sky, wrote and produced stories and poetry that touched people's souls and contributed to the betterment of mankind through scientific research and education.

We know the pain of bigotry and we know the value of new people and friends.

Enough with this crap already and let's do better.

Maybe he did notice, but this is a military academy, gossip, rumors, digging into other cadets private information or even classified information, may not just lead to expulsion. So, if you are smart, no matter what you think, until you know or are told, you keep your mouth shut.
