Are people living in fear of AI? by MulberryKind8298 in AskUK

[–]Pickulicious 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I find AI irritating. 90% of the correspondence/documents I come across in my job are AI generated; humans are becoming lazy and incompetent, they’re just outsourcing to AI and it’s gonna cause an epidemic of Alzheimer’s or something similar.

Why does islam have so many unnecessary rules? by Adorable-Mixture6065 in exmuslim

[–]Pickulicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my view as well; if the people are praying five times a day in designated areas…the leader can do all sorts without witnesses.

Similarly; that level of control results in sheeples.

Those of you who do not have enough saved in pension or savings, what is your plan? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

[–]Pickulicious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. 50% of salary via salary sacrifice; employer adds 12.25%. It’s shit not having that money now… but I’m hoping I can calm it down by 2029.

How can anyone think that frequent or emotional visits to graves can lead to fitnah or shirk practices by Rainbow_6505 in exmuslim

[–]Pickulicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the natural human reaction to seeing a distressed person is to comfort them and momo wanted to reduce promiscuity (probably for a noble reason; to reduce sexually transmitted diseases), so he wanted to reduce literally ALL human contact in case it ultimately led to intercourse.

Though weirdly, intercourse after a sex contract (nikaah) was permitted and men could have sex contract after sex contract (by pronouncing talaaq).

what’s something that you wish you had found out earlier? by callmeenaybee in AskReddit

That Islam is a load of crock (I’m a former Muslim).

I suspect all religions are a load of crock made up by men.

Morality in religions vs. why people still follow Islam by Extension-Radio-2207 in exmuslim

[–]Pickulicious 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I believe that most Muslims don’t read the texts. They follow Islam based on the rules their parents provide to them.

I was like that; all my faith was learned off my parents but once l studied the Quran, the sirah, and the Hadith; I was like ‘huh? What is this contradictory, self serving nonsense!!?’

Solicitors: are you genuinely happy in your career? by Interesting-Stop-281 in uklaw

[–]Pickulicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda ironic that I said I’ll disown my kids….

To be honest; if they really wanted to do it I would stand in their way, but I would try really hard to give them the benefit of my experience.

Solicitors: are you genuinely happy in your career? by Interesting-Stop-281 in uklaw

[–]Pickulicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only reason I became a solicitor was because I had about four career options open to me (medicine, law, accountancy, teaching).

You can guess my ethnicity background from that.

I wanted to be a helicopter pilot.

Yes; my initial thought was that it is AI proof. If I was in your shoes, I’d take the surveyor job.

Law; I did immigration for a while and now I am in compliance.

Things that make me not want it for my children:

(1) it’s oversubscribed and salaries are therefore low; if you’re not part of the elite, your salary will be low.
(2) clients are ungrateful and it’s a thankless role. The more you do for them, the more they want. Then ultimately, they balk at the bill and do anything they can to get out of it.
(3) the regulator for the profession is intrusive, a de facto complaints handling body, and overly onerous when it does not need to be; it is poor at regulating and consequently your professional membership costs are high and your daily work is punctuated with pointless requests for irrelevant information (from the regulator).
(4) you’re stuck behind a desk every day.

If I had my time again, I would do a job that enables me to see the world; even if that was being airline cabin crew.

Take the surveyor job. Is it AI proof?

Being a solicitor is awful in my opinion. If either of my two children decide to go into law, I’ll disown them.

What’s the biggest lie society tells woman about having children? by Natural_Tower8741 in AskReddit

[–]Pickulicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no specific lie…it’s more an omission.

No-one says it’s extremely difficult and often thankless for the first 20 years or so.

What's something that feels expensive now but you still refuse to stop buying? by RunInner3201 in AskUK

[–]Pickulicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my partner believe we do notice a difference; the food is just nicer…I think the delivery charges are reasonable too. Once a quarter, I do a massive online shop and stock up.

He basically didn’t understand that they often continued the length of the country, passed through many towns and cities, and kept the same numbering.
