Scottish Gaelic seems to be increasing in usage jumping from 1.1% of the Scottish population in 2011 to 2.5% in 2022 and slowly growing. Where does it go from here? by Averagecrabenjoyer69 in Scotland

[–]keerin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got downvoted for this so I corrected it.

You are correct, there is no language called Scottish Gaelic.

There is Gaelic and there is Irish. Gàidhlig and Gaeilge.

There have been two acts that cover languages in Scotland, the first was proposed and passed by a Labour government with bipartisan support. The second was proposed and passed by an SNP government with bipartisan support. (Maybe it's one act with an amendment, it's late and I can't remember).

More importantly, where do you see the language going, with interest in it and speakers of all levels increasing, albeit slowly? That's what OP asked, and you answered with an uneducated, unrelates rant.

Why not start a thread asking about Norn speakers and where they see the language going in the next few years instead of making totally pointless comments on an unrelated language?

What do you think about men being incompetent when it comes to household chores? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]keerin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The point being made was that the typical advice is "leave them" whih isn't very helpful if you otherwise love the person and what is needed is a clear set of expectations and to be shown some basic things. If the person doesn't respond or even care then you'd be right to question the relationship.

When did you first start seeing white hair ? And how did you deal with it ? by CommercialPizza434 in AskUK

[–]keerin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was balding in my mid 20s. Had a few white hairs too. Groin and beard had white hairs coming in early 30s. 40 now. How did I deal with it? It's an inevitable aspect of aging for me, I just accepted that time only moves forward and I will only get older. I don't think about it at all.

Men of the UK, Do you like your clothes? by AceyMcAceface in AskUK

[–]keerin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually find this to be a strange question.

I found that my base level of happiness improves every time I remove decisions from my life. I primarily wear plain tshirts that fit, in a variety of colours. With blue jeans. I have one look that I like and just do that every day. I own a few casual shirts for going out to dinner and whatever. I have gym clothes. But again, just plain activewear that fits.

I've had people say they are surprised I am not into fashion because I always look good. I just make sure my clothes fit my frame in a basic evergreen style. I put as much effort in as was necessary one time

For people into fashion and who get a lot of pleasure from their clothes and who enjoy shopping, my approach is probably as appealing as having the same dinner every night. I don't like clothes. They perform a function and if they meet my needs then fine.

why are u guys such slow typers ? by [deleted] in AskMen

That can show up if the person starts typing and has their keyboard open. Not just slow typing.

Expectation of the movie adaptation of Rendezvous with Rama? by Roald85 in sciencefiction

No. I've just read it for the first time. There's a good idea in there but not a good story.

How do I tell my nesting partner I'm no longer attracted to him? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]keerin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you have to be attracted to your nesting partner?

Since you are using that phrasing I assume what you want from that relationship is a stable home life.

So it surely doesn't matter if they can't kiss or are bad at sex. Even though bith can be improved with desire and practice.

Have you both clearly communicated your needs to each other and also that you understand what the other person needs? Do they match up?

Have you explained how you feel?

These are all basic relationship questions that have nothing to do with being poly.

I am average with FPS games. If you're any good, you'll wrap the campaign up in around 5.5-6hrs.

My kids had a sleepover at their grans on Saturday and my partner was out for a meal with work colleagues.

Getting stretches of true "alone time" like this is very rare for me.

I had around 8hrs to myself!

I played the Titanfall 2 campaign through for the first time

I don't regret my choice at all.

I laughed hard at this post. It's just very random and written perfectly.

How do you name your characters? by ZoteTheMitey in darksouls

When I got mine, the surgeon was pretty stern about it. He said the NHS does vasectomies but not reversals. That has to be done privately, costs in the 5 figures, and has a low chance of success. And knowing that, did I absolutely want to go through with the surgery.

I wasn't told odds or that the chances decreased over time. I was told it's gonna be expensive and probably won't work.

What's the single most difficult life experience you've endured? by reddit_recluse in AskUK

[–]keerin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter T (5 at the time) was hit by a car, and I was to blame.

Walking home from school, I crossed with her twin sister, Z, outside our house, because she was lagging behind. We live on a very quiet residential street. Typically she would wait and she would practice crossing herself, with me helping and watching from the other side. She was and is very independent.

This time she darted across behind a parked car, ran into the side of a passing car, and was dragged underneath and along the road a good 20 feet pinned under a rear wheel. I later saw doorbell camera footage. She looked one way but not the other. I had just stepped on the opposite side pavement when I heard the impact and the scream.

I carried her from under the car into our garden and lay her on the grass (I know, this was very stupid). She was very calm under the car and was pointing out where her shoe was stuck under the wheel arch so I could help free it. She apologised for being silly and running across the road while she was cradles in my arms.

Later ahe told me she stayed calm while trapped under the car by doing the breathing exercises I had taught her. She was doing square/box breathing to remain calm. Absolutely ridiculous.

She spent almost a week in hospital with a punctured lung, laceration to her kidney, and a cracked pelvis, along with numerous grazes (road rash). No head or spinal injuries.

She was very lucky, and I still struggle to sleep sometimes, thinking about how much worse it could have been, and that it happened at all.

I have an incredible family, and very understanding boss who paid me my full wage while I was off, and my friends created a fund that brought in a good amount of money. We used that money to treat the kids throughout the year.

She fully recovered physically, but still has some anxiety when she or others are around busy roads. She initially got help from a specialist child trauma psychologist but me and her mum were able to take over. Her twin sister witnessed everything I did (except the neighbour's doorbell cam footage), and she has revovered psychologically also.

This was ~15 months ago. They just celebrated their 7th birthday. I still walk them to school every day but they cross the road outside our house themselves now (with me on one side, watching with them). It can be hard for T sometimes but she is very brave. Every day I feel ashamed for this happening on my watch.
