Good to know but I will not be telling my mother that. My auntie has long since passed (mum's the baby in her family) and that would outrage her to the point of heart attack.
100 calls in 10 hours is solid work and I would imagine entirely exhausting.
One summer while in college I worked in a call centre. Worst job of my life so be kind to call centre workers folks. If I remember correctly we would rack up around 140 calls in a day but many of those were very short and obviously I didn't have a presidential nomination on the line. :)
Ireland was more or less entirely run by the unseen hand of the church until, I'd say, the 70's and to some extent the early 80's. Sure they even had a special position for the church in the original constitution in 1937.
In the early 80's people were becoming very wary and then all the various scandals broke loose, coming thick and fast in what seemed like a never ending flood at the time. In the space of the 30 years between 1970 and 2000 the country essentially became irreligious as a result.
Bwaaaak Bwaaaaak 🐓
That's bananas. "Any child is a gift" and "vasectomies being popular" aren't mutually exclusive. I have a lot of kids and I reached a point where I'd had enough. I love them all so deeply and if my wife said to me tomorrow that she was pregnant well then I would love that child dearly. I love kids.
Still....No more child tho plz. ✂️
There's a cautionary tale that does the rounds in our family about my auntie who somehow (now remember we're talking 1950's aggressively Catholic Ireland here) ended up having a conversation with her priest where she somehow implied that herself and her husband avoided sex around ovulation. From recollection it was during confession.
Priest says "no bueno". She says "okiedokie".
Nine kids. Nine. My mother is still angry about it and she's very, very old.
I remember when that video came out and I was truly impressed at watching good regulations in action.
Luv me some EU I does. 🇪🇺
That's his name. Thank you. I knew his first name but didn't want to Google it to be reminded of it any more than necessary tbh. It's one of those occasional intrusive thoughts videos for me that I'm sure we all have our own little library of.
I still can't believe the killer got away with it. Daniel had no way to get out alive.
Antonida Smolina, was visited by police after someone complained about photographs she had posted online showing her posing in a yellow coat against a blue sky
HAHA. Imagine being that fragile.
Both Trump and Vance have pretty inspiring stories
Intrigue....
Trump especially has shown us that
Extreme intrigue....
even if you have extreme mental disabilities, you too can rise to the level of US President.
LOL. You got me.
I think you misconstrued my intent which was just that I didn't agree with this take from the person I was replying to:
Like they’re challenging her to contradict them.
I was merely trying to point out that I felt the cops (and murder cop in particular) were ready, keen even, to get away when they were standing on the porch. Murder cop seemed pissed off the entire time he was going to the call (his partner is constantly checking if he's OK), when searching the back yard and also while dealing with that lady so I was surprised he didn't take the opportunity to just fuck off back to his car. I felt like he really wanted to.
And if it were a white woman, and she was cursing them from the moment they arrived, she’d still be alive right now 100%. Perhaps detained or arrested, and/or maybe a few bruises. But alive.
Yeah, tbh I'm not American but that does ring true with me as a frequent external viewer of horror stories like this.
I do it too.
For those not in the know: England are facing Spain in the final of the Euro football championship.
"All the little bits"
Imagine that room. You can just picture phones being handed around left and right and wild panic in the air.
"This one's been holding for 7 minutes already"
"See if X can take a call at 11:15"
"What timezone are they in?"
I'd say it was well orchestrated mayhem.
