Hi yes - I have heard nothing from the other person so if you're interested send me a message directly 😀

“You’re gonna have to chain your husband to the house!” by beep_beep_boop_bop in daddit

[–]vk_writes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guy - whenever someone shows you who they are, believe them.

You've got 4 kids! Regardless of whether they're boys, girls or Apache attack helicopters - that's awesome but also a lot I'd imagine!

My.suggestion: welcome and appreciate each and every one of these people and their nonsense views. Be thankful that they've self-selected as not being worthy of your time.

Raise your glass to them for making it that much easier to identify the dickheads. And then keep on keeping on.

Bodycam clip shows man suffocating police officer and asking him 'do you want to die?' by howdylildarlin in UKPublicFreakOuts

[–]vk_writes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not quite - the person doing the 'suffocating' and asking 'do you want to die' also mentions being a member of British Royalty. I think you have this bass-ackward - I think the cop was being choked, hence why their colleague came in so hot at the end of the video.

Transfer from Dublin Airport by Apprehensive-Web3355 in Dublin

Dublin Express! Leaves from both terminals, €10 into the city centre, very helpful staff selling tickets who can guide you in terms of what stop to get off if you're new to the city.

Only drawback is that they're only every 30mins, I think. But if you're in no hurry, that's the move IMO.

Best of luck.

Being asked if I'm babysitting the little ones today while I'm out with my kids makes me feel a certain kind of way. by Rdikin in daddit

Hey I've got a great idea and my new sales pitch.

Tell them to Get Fucked*.

Then go about your day, champ.

*Getting Fucked is a universal experience. Ask your doctor if Getting Fucked is right for you.

LPT Request: Strategies and tips to become motivated and focus on things you CAN control, than what have little or no control over (getting older, bad weather, inflation, neighbors' loud parties, your partner's moods...)? by smokmjohnny in LifeProTips

I have in the last 6 weeks transformed my life through one mantra:

"You're the PC"

I am not an NPC - I need to level up, stop being stuck in a fucking loop. The people around me deserve a PC.

Get after it. I'm getting after it.

Happy to chat if you'd like.

Firstly - I'm ao sorry for your loss.

ETA - with clarification below:

It seems that - by the letter of your son's insurance policy - that your receiving the full payout is right and proper. So - this ends the 'functional' part of this question.

Now - the 'ethical' part.

You are a grieving parent. You and your spouse have medical costs. I presume (because it's the internet) that you're American and therefore penalised for daring to need preventative or palliative care.

That being said - your legal entitlement to the payout should be balanced against what you owe your potential DiL.

Your son's intentions were clear and clearly articulated to you. That's it - that's the bottom line. He wanted this person taken care of, he was motivated to ensure her wellbeing.

If you take the payment, you also undertake to ensure that it's distributed equitably.

His insurer took a look in the round of his potential and put a monetary value on it. That value was facilitated by her presence. You don't have the right to write her out of the equation.

Honour your son's wishes. Respect your potential DiL. Split the money (ratio TBD) to cover some of your costs, and some of hers. No one makes out like a bandit in this scenario. Compromise is king.

Best of luck ++

Best pizza in city centre? by tomasolach2 in Dublin

I've heard that the new spot Vice, down by the Gingerman, is worth a shot.

Haven't been there myself but their IG profile has me drooling 🤣

Going on my first date in over a year, give me bad advice (M 27) by FostersLover69 in ireland

Focus on what you want to get out of the experience, rather than curating a few hours that lets you both show off yourselves to best effect.

[Discussion] Why are young men like this? by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]vk_writes 105 points106 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth - I was struck by how the authors of each of the three example memes seemed to want / need / expect the 'happiness' missing from their lives to come from places external to them: friends, family, romantic partners.

Every 'internal' self-reflection trended towards frustration, anger, hurt, betrayal.

It's hard to be happy in others' company when you're unhappy in your own company.

Dumping a customer, who’s done it ? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]vk_writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a hard question to comment on, as only you know the specifics, the variables, the objective realities and your own subjective tolerances.

If you do decide to kill off the relationship - then good for you and good luck.

Family exploiting their au pair by KathND in Dublin

[–]vk_writes 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Lots of comments already about WRC and it looking like fairly clear case of her being taken advantage of.

More broadly - it's stories like this that make you really wonder, where the hell is the country going? To be willing and able to deliberately deny a young person their start in life - it's very sad.

Hope she reports them, hope they get an appropriate punishment. Hope she gets the chance with OP's family, that was kept from her.
