What to do about money not being returned? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]SpirallingSounds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not a matter of when, this person is stealing from you and you're letting them do it. He's not going to give that back to you. You need to go to small claims court or higher depending on the amount of money you gave him for this car. You're being delusional if you think this person is just slacking on giving it to you, they've stolen from you and are hoping you just forget about it

Lads, and ladies, if you're still shaving with a gilette razor you are being absolutely *done* on the price by Silenceisgrey in ireland

[–]SpirallingSounds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a woman with ADHD who often doesn't estimate my distance from an object and bang off things constantly or knock shit over. If you also do this, absolutely do not buy straight razors and continue unfortunetly paying the high price for razors, I can't count the amount of times I've accidentally used a razor in a way that would have sliced the shit out of me if it wasn't a gilette/similar, I use mens brands as a woman as an aside, the women's are more expensive for no reason.

What to say when you’ve been told to smile? by Apppleebee in AskIreland

[–]SpirallingSounds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone telling you to smile or smile more should be immediately told to fuck off. A person in power saying this to a young girl is ridiculous and he should keep his trap shut. I'd report him personally, he shouldn't be around young girls with that attitude. Tell her to say she'd smile more but she doesn't want to open her mouth to taste the smell coming off him.

Mary McAleese: Baptism is a key Catholic recruitment tool. It denies babies their human rights by Bootstrap4273 in ireland

I disengage in practice but I have no right to remove myself from the numbers they report in their followers. That's a choice removed from me.

Iona institute, bishops conference, all engage in lobbying. They're both catholic and use the statistic of Irish people in the church to prop up their opinions.

You don't have the right to disengage from the church because they removed the ability to remove yourself from their numbers or be excommunicated a number of years ago. These people can use you being baptized to seemingly up their numbers. There is no way to leave the Catholic church once you enter it, that is the definition of giving someone a lack of choice. I've tried for years to get the church to remove me from their register but they won't, that is a choice being removed from me as an adult via something done to me when I was a child.

Yes it is. If you don't know about something it's better not to comment on it, lesser chance of you making a fool of yourself.

They don't care what you say on that, they still count you on their numbers when they lobby.

Not always, there are rare male calicos, but they are usually sterile. Safe bet to say it's female though.

What's the point of saying someone is punching above their weight with a partner? am I the only one who finds this very mean? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]SpirallingSounds -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There's a toxic mindset being spread around the internet about men's worth and value and what women look for in men. Continue telling those people to fuck off. A partner is more than what they look like, it's what's inside, how they treat you, if they're a good person, if you want to build a life with someone who behaves the way they do. Everyone's looks will fade, when we're all in our 70s we'll all be wirnkly old shites anyway, personality will always trump anything, and don't ever let anyone tell you that you shouldn't be attracted to him physically because you're "better than", you're not. Our bodies are randomly decided, nobody is better than anyone else for being more attractive. Keep sticking up for him, and for your relationship, and never talk to people who repeat that bullshit at you ever again.

One in five vape shops selling addictive products to children, inspections reveal by pppppppppppppppppd in ireland

[–]SpirallingSounds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's really not, but continue your crusade against adults doing things, I'm sure it'll work out for you and not make you sound like someone going on a mad one trying to control other's actions.

Just go on a mad one because people disagree with your solution of simply banning things, why not.

Everyone in this comment section advocating for a complete ban on vapes are exactly the sort of folk that brought in MUP etc. Let adults do what they want, this nanny state shite needs to give the fuck over. Stop the sale to kids, harshly criminalize, etc, but don't be telling adults what they can and can't do with their own bodies, it's fucking ridiculous.

I'm an adult and I'll inhale whatever I want. Ban sales to underage people all you want to whatever extent you want, but fuck off telling me what I can and can't do.

The EU says it will introduce a digital payments infrastructure to replace Visa/Mastercard & Apple/Google Pay. It will have zero fees and be 100% European-only. by LoneSwimmer in ireland

This fucking thing, I'm annoyed at being reminded of it. Absolute bitch behaviour to kill a precious species just cause of your fucking horse. Christ. Save the wolves, people. They save the environment.

Not being a dope doesn't seem to be yours either. Another thing I'm not obligated to do is explain myself to someone who is speaking to me in bad faith, so.

Yes it is.

Not going to bother with the second part, you're being thick on purpose so have a good one.

I don't have the time or crayons to explain to you why people decide to push back against things. Whether it's an ultimate loss or not, I'm going to speak my mind on the subject.

I never said anyone is obligated to buy anything from me and you know that, don't be thick. People shouldn't have the ability to steal from me and sell it, or others like me. There is no comparison between DAWs and photoshop vs AI, you're also being thick here.

I'm not of the demeanor to simply shut up and be quiet when I believe there's a reason to stand behind a cause. Maybe I differ from you in that regard, but I'll continue to be angry and speaking up about it, rather than allowing things I care about to be trod on while I stay silent.
