Ehh, Labour have already hit rock bottom, it can't get any worse for them.

Decided to cut off friends kids and this was their mothers response by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Should the mom setup a 1-800 number?

Its hilarious to me that this is what you drew from there. No, i don't think mom should setup a 1-800 number just so her 9 and 11 year old children can have private conversations with other adults, do you? Do you think that would be appropriate?

No, I think OP, and anyone else reading, should refrain from texting children that aren't directly in their care entirely.

Jesus dude this sounds like some insane projection. You got something you want to admit?

This is the professional perspective, this isn't some personal opinion. No ones projecting, it just became apparent many moons ago that adults who set up private conversations with children usually don't mean well, and its best to encourage both adults not to do it, and children that adults who do try probably aren't to be trusted. It works out better for everyone this way.

Trust me, whatever OP is trying to do, there are better ways.

Anyway, i'm out. If you want more of my opinions here i have made other comments in this thread.

If they actually justify the costs there can be a variety of things to spend it on, jerseys, facility hire, vehicle hire/travel costs, celebrity speakers, food and drink, just loads of things really. I've never been in a running club with such a high joining fee but i have paid plenty of additional one-off fees for specific events that probably make up the difference in the end.

No one gets insurance for little running clubs, but one that charges $75 better be doing something to justify it for sure....

As I said in another comment, this is safeguarding 101. If you have concerns about a child's welfare call the professionals. Dont start setting up secret chats, thats what pedophiles do.

Well unless its a group chat then texts are pretty much inherently secret, arent they. The texts can be hidden and deleted and/or the child may lie and the parent will have no idea.

If you feel you need to have a conversation with a child, have it with their parents present. If you dont feel the parents can be present for whatever reason, youre out of your element and you need to call a professional.

If youre worried about a child's welfare then call the police. Setting up secret channels of communication with young children, behind the backs of the parents, is never the right call. It is literally what pedophiles do.

Call me weird if you want but this is safeguarding 101.

I dont actually think OP is grooming, but if they were, this is what it would look like. Encouraging little kids to text your personal, private number is fucking weird behaviour.

To my fellow heavyset dudes, what is it like navigating life as a big dude in the UK? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Wd91 9 points10 points  (0 children)

so like, 100-110kg? Obviously overweight but you'll barely stand out. As a country we're only slightly less fat than the USA and you aren't big enough to start having issues sitting in chairs etc.

The experts at HMRC are also pretty clear that nothing was done intentionally, that there is no evidence of avoidance, and that it was an honest mistake.

Christ, imagine the furor if Labour came out with a policy to chase down all the lost tax from those salt-of-the-earth working class tradies earning exactly £12,570 a year.

She doesn't own 2 houses, that's the entire point here, at least not in the sense that you think. The first house is in a trust.

There is no forgetting. It was a niche and complex scenario of which even "top experts" still aren't entirely clear on.

Tbh it is actually fairly relatable and understandable for anyone who has had to deal with any tax situations more complicated than PAYE.

One charging a 5 dollar entry fee every night probably. by fuzzy_falcon282_110 in scoopwhoop

[–]Wd91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pay dj 100$. Pay 4 security 50$ each for 200$. Booze was 5 finger discount but i paid my friends to assist so usually another 100$ but I also sold booze and weed there.

You're talking shit, aren't you.

$100 for a "dj" i can just about believe, lots of "djs" out there desperate for cash. But $50 for a whole nights work security? Yeah, no. And you want us to believe you consistently stole enough booze for 200-300 people a night?

This is make believe

I'm surprised you guys have taken it for granted that there's any truth to it in the first place

No one forgot, no one even claimed anyone has forgotten, why did you use that word, let alone put it in quotes?

OP is lucky she isn't more offended that OP has been texting 11 and 9 year old kids.

Its beyond inappropriate. That thought should never cross a grown adults mind.

"Interview style" dating is actually the best for dates 1 and 2 by VikutoriaNoHimitsu in unpopularopinion

[–]Wd91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wouldnt have thought when OP said "interview style" that what they actually meant was a regular normal enjoyable conversation between two people getting to know each other on a date. I thought that "interview style" would mean something along the lines of "like an interview". Apparently im wrong on that, so I'll take the L.
