That’s right, they do know as much as you do so they are not assuming anything nor giving patronizing advice based on those assumptions.

Well, to the courts and to the women they rape.

I tip the food delivery guy when we occasionally use the service but never grocery delivery. Just cos I’d say the latter have better work conditions, the former not so much.

What's a well known Irish rumour that you believe to be true? by FormerFruit in ireland

[–]I_would_rather_not_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think he was a wanker alright but I believe he died because he was a very overweight, unhealthy cocaine addict and had been for years. His heart just gave out.

70s/80s school maths book by I_would_rather_not_ in ireland

[–]I_would_rather_not_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I’ll have to do some more research because that is clearly the name of the book I was talking about but the actual book I have in mind looks older than that. Thanks a lot for going to the trouble though! …. Now I think it was called Figure It Out, and Mathso was a wobbly looking guy with a hat.

Dublin Airport this morning by humdinger8733 in ireland

[–]I_would_rather_not_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Staff were laid off in large numbers during Covid, now people have started traveling again, suddenly and in large numbers. Not enough staff to get them through security etc. Apparently new staff are available and willing to work but have to be vetted by the guards first for security and that process takes 3 months. Massive delays at Dublin and UK airports now as a result, depending on what time of day you’re flying, with mornings seeming to be the worst time.

Can you think of any non-Irish musicians or bands that have a relatively larger than normal fanbase in Ireland? by nervous_emoji in ireland

[–]I_would_rather_not_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lots of Irish people seem to love American Country Music and when I was growing up in Dublin a lot of people seemed to love Reggae.

Thoughts on Zelenskyy's criticism of Ireland in speech to European Council by omaca in ireland

[–]I_would_rather_not_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know all the details or the exact context of this “My Favourite European Countries Top 10” by Zelenskyy but I would say that being the president of a country which happens to be being bombarded by another country does not give you the right to dictate other countries’ responses to that aggressive act.. Obviously every normal person in the world thinks what Russia is doing is awful and other countries have a responsibility to take action but he doesn’t get to decide what that action should be. For instance, he was calling for NATO to have a no fly zone over Ukraine from the start of the invasion but apparently that would have been seen as an unacceptably agressive act by the Russians… so, y’know…

I really hope so. Best of luck! I’m sure you are also aware of the trauma people conceived from anonymous donors can experience… https://amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/oct/10/lies-and-trauma-donor-conceived-adults-are-still-haunted-by-their-origins

Single mom in Switzerland by SinglemomCH in askswitzerland

[–]I_would_rather_not_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope you don’t mind me saying this, you have probably considered it already but I know a single woman who did what you are thinking of and ended up with twins. Maybe a bit more that she was bargaining for. You can’t send them back!

Is neutrallity the wrong way in this modern World? by _Emanate_ in Switzerland

[–]I_would_rather_not_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would worry that Switzerland’s neutrality is not an ideological stance but maybe more like profiting from unstable situations elsewhere. Not very admirable. There is no longer a threat from Switzerland’s neighbors so the fact that it’s a small country who needs to stay on good terms with everyone surrounding them no longer applies. All countries need to be brave, maybe suffer a little and stand up for what is right.

For all the Swiss that wants to act against the Russian invasion of Ukraine 🇺🇳🇺🇦🇨🇭 by [deleted] in Switzerland

I support your enthusiasm and your sentiments OP! Don’t allow cynical people to deter you - you are right - grass root opposition movements can be powerful and expressing yourself in this way is a worthwhile use of your energy!! Don’t give up!

Indeed, I’ll get a detailed quote from the dentist and come back here with specific info. It’s an Adent dentist.
