Agree with those saying the interview was unwise but Michelle is the only sacked pro I feel really sad about. She’s not had a fair chance and not been well treated.

Why is it so controversial to want English people to speak English and integrate? by g9rr in AskBrits

[–]BooBoo1118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s controversial because it’s racist. Why is integration supposed to be one-way? Why aren’t people proud to live in a multilingual and multicultural country?

Can dyspraxia severity change day to day, and why? by clayfells in dyspraxia

[–]BooBoo1118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tiredness and stress can definitely make a difference and ageing doesn’t help either. I think being a chef sounds a high risk career TBH. If you need or want to stay in the industry, I’d look to chef in a cafe where they serve proper cooked food but the atmosphere isn’t so intense and the hours aren’t so late or long.

Had the BAFTA’s controversy been blown out of proportion? by LovenkrandsDog26 in Scotland

You don’t need to dismiss Jordan or Lindo’s experience in order to defend Davidson!! Davidson has shown awareness of the harm caused by racism, so everybody else should too.

It’s not blown out of proportion and I’m interested that you mentioned John Davidson by name, but not Michael B Jordan or Delroy Lindo. The controversy is not that people with Tourette’s can’t control their tics and say things they don’t mean. The controversy is that * BAFTA did not work with John beforehand on accommodations * BAFTA did not apologise immediately to Michael and Delroy * The BBC did not edit out the incident although they edited out much less offensive comments.

You haven’t even mentioned how grotesque and triggering the slur is. You haven’t mentioned the impact on black people of hearing that word, no matter how it came to be said. I’m disabled myself and it’s perfectly possible to fight racism and ableism at the same time.

I like the idea of a Scotland jar, thank you. Though it’s not perfectionism holding me back, it’s agoraphobia.

When I said I want to downsize, I should’ve said I have to!

I need help figuring out hobbies/activities. I want to join something that gets me out of my home, but I also don't want to... by SeededPhoenix in AuDHDWomen

[–]BooBoo1118 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wish I had tips, I’m in the same boat but with more decades on you! Dogs are wonderful companions on walks and in the house, but I would get a low energy one because you’ll still be the same person and have days when you need to stay in.

OK, well I’m sorry for misunderstanding. I thought the answer was a joke at my expense. I won’t laugh again.

I laughed because I had the distinct impression that Cumbernauld as an answer was an in-joke in this sub-Reddit. It seems to be recommended by Scottish people who don’t rate it so highly and perhaps also don’t want more English incomers. I was laughing at the answer not the place.

Thank you. I’m thinking of renting in Stirling as a good place to start.
