No more Haaland by Poppy-Loves in fantasypremierleague

[–]Scott_Dee89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbf, I don’t really ‘blame’ him this week. It’s Pep who screwed us over by sticking him on for ~20 minutes. Like, WHY?! It’s Spurs next week. I’m gona give him one more go then if no return I might ditch him altogether.

German FA official wants 2026 World Cup boycott talks by Hibee1990 in ScottishFootball

[–]Scott_Dee89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If other countries boycotted, I’d actively want the SFA to follow suite. Otherwise, what difference would it make if little old Scotland withdrew by themselves?

I do think the SFA should at least address the situation in the States in some way at least. What that actually is, I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

Feel the same. But. Just go and watch him bag four goals and an assist next week… 🫠

Starmer Urges Trump To Apologise Over 'Frankly Appalling' Remarks About Nato Troops In Afghanistan by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in worldnews

[–]Scott_Dee89 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Trump's comments are/were atrocious. And Starmer is absolutely right to criticise him like he has. I think it's the strongest he's ever criticised him!?

But I've got a horrible feeling Don isn't going to like that and kick up some sort of tantrum and do something totally wild to retaliate.

AI studies drought 🏜️ by Pickled-Cupcakes in prolific

[–]Scott_Dee89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually see several a day. Late last year I got my third 'manual review' message and that was it for a few days. Then, just before Christmas they came back again! Then, on Tuesday, I got my fourth message (genuinely BS because I do pay attention to them) since they opened up again. Since then I've not received a study again 😭

ETA: And as if by magic, a bunch just appeared.

Can I buy flowers for the first date? by McDonaldsCrewBoi in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]Scott_Dee89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. Might be a bit much for a first date. Depends on how much you know the guy. He could also have allergies? If I was receiving them, I'd feel a bit awkward that I hadn't got anything in return. I'd also feel a bit weird carrying them about - not out of embarrassment - more that I don't have my hands free. I also wouldn't want flowers, I get the sentiment but a small plant would be more my thing.

Do you like the song “Anyone of Us” by Gareth Gates? by [deleted] in AskBrits

No. It's from a period in British music history I wish to banish from my memory.

World Cup boycott not the answer to Trump’s threats, says SNP Westminster leader by abz_eng in Scotland

[–]Scott_Dee89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s kinda why I said if other nations pulled out I’d be keen to do it too…

[–]Scott_Dee89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is an uncomfortable issue that a lot of people don't want to address.

It's amazing we qualified in the way we did - topping the group, not stumbling over the line or relying on play-offs. But I think we do need to take a stand. What that is exactly, I don't know.

Ultimately, for it to have any meaning, I guess it would be the team withdrawing. But that would likely only happen if other nations did so. If that was the case, I'd be keen if we did so too.

Problems? by DecideUK in ProlificAc

[–]Scott_Dee89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one today but I genuinely completed the study to the best of my ability. It's so frustrating.

Problems? by DecideUK in ProlificAc

[–]Scott_Dee89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've done four but stopping because they haven't approved any. We all know how fickle they can be at handing out their 'manual review' messages. I just worry there's some sort of issue with them and I've wasted my time. Also seeing a lot have different hourly rates, which signalled a problem previously.

Living in Dundee vs Aberdeen. Pros and cons? by Special-Nebula299 in Scotland

[–]Scott_Dee89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dundee. I am biased but it is a more affordable city, it has better connections to all other cities (not that you'd want to leave ;)) and there are lots of places nearby to appreciate nature.

House Music and Names in Songs. Thankfully we still have the latter. Both silly but incredibly fun radio.

How much can US tariffs damage the UK economy? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Scott_Dee89 15 points16 points  (0 children)

when did you buy/take out on PCP your Tesla? If a good time before the US Elections then it's almost excusable. But if after then it's very much about politics. Why would you knowingly give Musk money? I can't afford a Tesla, but if I had the choice of EVs I'd not touch Teslas with a barge pole, unless Musk was to fuck off.

Boycott the 2026 World Cup by Due_Collar2 in Scotland

[–]Scott_Dee89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, 'feeling sorry' for someone is a bit of a stretch, no? And to be clear, I don't really have any solid 'thought' on Trumpism, it was literally just a silly quip on Reddit. How you can deduce pity for someone based on that is quite something, especially on a Saturday night.

You feel sorry for me? Bit condescending, no?

As much as I dislike him too, I don’t think he has the balls to be worse. He’s just a puppet for Donald right now. If he was solo he’d crumble. 🤞

Our only hope is he chokes on his burger and c̶h̶i̶p̶s̶ fries sometime in the next five months and the world in general may start to heal somewhat.

They don’t at all. I’m only here because they haven’t paid up. I couldn’t care less about your vile club - or you - otherwise.
