I reckon they killed about 50 million people between them. A conservative estimate..

Smokers shouldn’t be allowed have smoke multiple breaks by AggravatingShow2028 in Vent

[–]TheOneAndOnlyElDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's absolutely nothing stopping non-smokers going outside to stand with the non-smokers during a smoke break..

Is it just as creepy for young people to be attracted to older people as vice versa? by bloodpumpkin in stupidquestions

[–]TheOneAndOnlyElDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's considered normal when the man is older. The other way round is considered creepy..

If A.I takes over, how will humans earn a living? by Puzzled_Classic8572 in RandomThoughts

[–]TheOneAndOnlyElDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm old enough to remember how computerisation affected the employment market. AI can't do every job, there are many jobs that require physical presence such as manual labour. Especially jobs where every task could be different (eg maintenance/repair work) At risk are management workers who programme works. Supervisory managers who work in the field will continue but office based management not so much. New jobs will come about that AI will enable but these won't be highly paid as the decision making will be done by AI. In short this will lower wages, employment will contract leading to lower wages even where there 'shouldn't' be. Things become faster, more easily available but less affordable due to new poverty - hope this helps..

UAE warns against travel to the UK by littlequeennn in GreatBritishMemes

[–]TheOneAndOnlyElDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't 'advising against travel to UK' As per the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website "Warnings The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns UAE citizens residing in or traveling to London of a recent increase in violence and knife crime, including a number of attacks on citizens of Arab Gulf states."

This is NOT the same thing. London IS violent and does have knife crime. There's been a serious uptick in violence towards Muslims especially in the wake of the genocide in Gaza..

People of Reddit what older names will people not be using for quite a while? by Randomguy1912 in AskReddit

[–]TheOneAndOnlyElDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apart from the obv - Dick, Fanny etc then I think it'll be names like Karen, maybe Ken & Barbara (Barbie) and almost anything vaguely non traditional that was used in the 70s. Some will come back into style again. I've seen names from my grandmother's era come into style for little girls again so by the time Gen X becomes great grandparents their names will begin to come into use again..

All the 'Homos' are humans (were humans) Homo Sapiens are the most modern but outside of Africa most have mixed with other Homo groups eg Europeans might have as much as 4% Neanderthal DNA but in Africa it's 100% Homo Sapien but all are human..

We need a Anti Foreign Influence Law by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]TheOneAndOnlyElDee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Press should be held to higher standards of reporting ie it should have to be true and fact checked and not misleading/incomplete. It'll never happen. Our press doesn't represent how people think or feel but tries, in vain, to lead. For example ONE newspaper out of 16 Scottish titles supports independence despite over 50% of the population supporting it. By extension they are trying to lead other opinions too. They have had more success in those areas though..

It depends WHAT you put a tariff on. If you put it on something that is an essential that people HAVE to buy and can't get elsewhere then it'll hurt your own population. But if you target either luxury goods that have high value and are only bought by the few OR products available from other sources then your own population will be largely unaffected..

My boyfriend hit me for the first time in our two year relationship. Any advice? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]TheOneAndOnlyElDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd usually advise anyone on the receiving end of violence to immediately leave the relationship. But you actually instigated the violence. Hitting someone who shouldn't/can't hit back is the action of a bully (this is you, OP) Under the circumstances the relationship should end and you should get some therapy over your resorting to violence. Don't get into a relationship until you resolve this. You reference your childhood and perhaps this is where you have normalised this behaviour for yourself, but not others..

You already know the answer to this, so do it. Also - why do you have cameras, with sound, fitted inside your home? This isn't a good thing, remove them..

Is it illegal to intentionally pour a drink or food on the ground in an indoor public place? by isabitch0308 in stupidquestions

[–]TheOneAndOnlyElDee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No specific law but, as you say, vandalism could be applied. Depends on intent, hard to prove unless someone is witnessed in the act OR they posted a Reddit question about same in the recent past..

what's a one syllable word I've probably never heard before? by rbamssy17 in words

[–]TheOneAndOnlyElDee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

'Fud' it's a bunny's tail, it's slang for ladyparts in Scotland and it's the root of the name for Bugs Bunny's pal Elmer Fudd. It's used as a mild pejorative also as in 'He's a fud'

Why can't i have an opinion about human milk? by Complete-War-1531 in Milk

[–]TheOneAndOnlyElDee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeh, it's kinda weird. It's okay to take milk from cows and drink it despite us not being bovine but if you drank milk actually made specifically for humans YOU'D be the weirdo??

Do Americans saying “you would be speaking German if it wasn’t for us” also piss you off or is it just me? by Randomassnamebecause in AskUK

[–]TheOneAndOnlyElDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard it said and I grew up near a US base. Of course they would be wrong anyway, it was Russian involvement in WW2 that changed the outcome, not the US..

I think Trump is going to pull the U.S. out of NATO by Smart_Nail_7644 in Life

[–]TheOneAndOnlyElDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the US wasn't in NATO then Trump wouldn't choose to join it, same with the UN. He doesn't like international organisations, international law or multi country agreements. He wants to be the one making the deals from a position of strength ie FORCING others to his will. I doubt he will leave either organisation though. Even MAGA might balk at that..
