True. I guess good intent and delivery is generally assumed with a gift but not always there. It's not implied in the post though.

There's a lot of important context missing but on balance, with the bits we do have, I think OP probably could have handled it with more sensitivity.

That's true, but I don't think that negates what was good intent. Plus we have no idea about delivery of the message from OP.

I feel that pain. Like I've been in a corridor in the emergency department but at least mine was capped at €100.

I honestly would have been looking for the discount otherwise.

Holy fucking shit. Was the news delivered by the lord almighty with a massage and a perfectly cooked steak? Because that's the kind of service I'd want for four fucking grand with that level of shitty diagnosis.

That's shockin'.

Send a gift

That's such a ridiculous thing to agree to, knowing that a country with a veto was the most likely aggressor. :(

Haha. Believe it or not I have actually pre-warned my kids that if they need to defend themselves physically to just press ahead and I'll pay for the solicitor after.

They're all incredibly good kids so I say that to them knowing it won't be abused but provides them with the confidence they'll be backed up and to stand up for themselves in the moment.

It's porn.

She's a child.

It's child porn.

Her first response wasn't violence. She was let down badly by the school then pushed and pushed until she hit him.

It's child porn for fuck sake. The school did nothing and put her on the bus with him. What other option was she left with?

If it were my daughter I'd be proud of her.

Curiosity got the better of me. I regret my hubris.

 
 

I never buy vodka but went to today and just out of curiosity checked where it's made. Well, it turns out it's made in the US in my (Irish) supermarket at least so yours may be the same.

I bought Finlandia instead.

 

I used to love the bench sub in the other place, went to post a picture to /c/bench and realised it didn't exist so I'm being the change I want to see in Lemmy.

Mine has a few that I can think of but I'm definitely forgetting some:

  • Snig: a secret stash. Usually of cash but it could be chocolate or whatever. Pretty sure this one is unique but I'd love to hear otherwise.
  • Sero: (seero) seriously. This one isn't unique.
  • James floody (flew-dy) ah-doody amen: Weird chant in the hope that something comes true.
  • edit: pinchies: little bit of food before it's ready. Usually meat but as I'm cooking pancakes I just gave some pinchies and it reminded me of this thread
 
 

I'll get it started. I just had Aldi noodles for the first time and they were pure shite.

So....Lidl is better for cheap noodles (the 5 pack ones are very decent at only 30c a pack in the 5 pack).

Aldi has a far better frozen section generally IMO.

 

It only appears occasionally. I have no alarms set, no timers, stopwatch etc. running.

Android phone. Searching got no joy.

Update: it was a scheduled message in signal. Didn't want to send my bestie memes too late at night. It does use the actual alarm icon though, weirdly.

Thanks everyone for your help!
