Well, they don’t have foreskins, do they?

Once I removed all the TTRJ type non-word allcaps crap from the dictionary, it became much more usable for me.

I do not think it is a real problem.

Oh, America.

Lol, that’s for legal migrants

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/application-for-change-of-conditions-of-leave-to-allow-access-to-public-funds-if-your-circumstances-change

You can apply online for a change to your conditions if your financial circumstances change and you:

• have permission to stay on the basis of your family or private life
• have applied for permission to stay on the basis of your family or private life
• have permission to stay with a close relative with protection status as a child
• hold a British National (Overseas) visa
• have permission granted on any other immigration route and you want to apply on a discretionary basis because your circumstances are particularly compelling

Note the permission thing.

I have some fantastic news for you. For some time now, if you enter the UK via an illegal route you already have No Recourse To Public Funds. This means you can’t get council housing, you can’t get universal credit, you can’t get child credit and you’re not entitled to free treatment in the NHS. You have to pay for everything yourself.

Why would anyone do that? Ignorance maybe, but usually because it’s better than being killed and they already speak some English or have family here.

The last job you got-did you have to supply identity papers such as drivers licence, passport or similar? Employers legality have to establish your right to work in the UK.

So the his news for you is there’s already no legal way for illegal immigrants to be paid anything at all in the UK. Automatically destitute. Woohoo. You must be so proud.

It wasn’t me that changed the subject

It’s just a lot of clever words for hating foreigners. I’m not fooled by it. Apparently you are. The solution to the infrastructure problems is to build more infrastructure. Not elect a bunch of racists and let hate rule your country. Who gives a fuck where people are from? Racists. That’s who. People are people.

The solution to the housing crisis is to build a vast amount of council housing, just like we did post war. It makes jobs. It boosts the economy. It removes the upwards pressure on rent and introduces downwards pressure. Who would pay through the nose for a badly maintained private rental property when there’s a brand now council house at much lower rent? Landlords would have to fix the house and reduce the rent or sell - reducing upwards pressure on house prices.

So it’s the government selling off council houses instead of building more and money-grabbing rich venture capital landlords that cause the housing problem, not some immigrant.

How do you solve the problems of the NHS? Recruit more doctors and nurses. How? Increase the limit on numbers in medical school in the UK (controlled by the government) and for goodness’ sake, make sure all the foreign born NHS and healthcare workers feel happy, wanted and at home, because the one think the NHS can’t afford is to lose the immigrant workers! Next, bring health and social care and NHS under the same funding roof, either by putting NHS into local authorities or social care under the NHS. Social care is far cheaper than the NHS and a bunch of old people can’t get a place in social care because there’s not enough funding for it. If it was the same pot of money, it’d be simple - build a bunch of care homes and ease pressure on the NHS. But how would you staff them? I think you’re beginning to see where the answers are but you don’t want to admit it.

Who gave you money problems? Rich people running corporations to extract as much money as possible from you. Not some poor immigrant.

Immigrants make our country better. Without them it would be worse. Silly racists can sound plausible without using the word “race” or “skin” or “foreigners” as much as they like but their solutions are just about racism and not about making anything better.

Trump is living out the “deport them or lock them up” policy. If you think that’s all going well, move to America. Unless your skin isn’t pearly white, because they’ll lock you up before you can say “ironic” and certainly before you can say “habeas corpus”.

Yeah, but if a Nazi says we should send all the immigrants home, I see it for the racist shit it is.

But it boils down to “go back where they came from” which is the favourite of racists.

I guess I’m just worried that if I give it a shot, I might not feel anything more than what I feel toward my male friends. In the worst case, they might develop feelings for me, and then I’d have to break their heart - and I hate the thought of that.

You are definitely over-thinking this bit.

“I can’t try having a relationship because it might not work out and then we’d be unhappier.”

No. Unthink this. You can’t insist that your very first romantic relationship with a man must last for life. That’s too high a bar.

Americans continuing to blame the kids who are being shot at, or absolutely anyone who had anything to do with it EXCEPT the gun nuts, tick, I had that on my bingo card for this thread.

That’s not what happened here, though, is it.

Sounds Russian to me.

Absolutely. I watched a great video explaining how it does it and felt like I understood for five minutes, and I know it’s something about putting loops through loops through loops forever, and yes it absolutely does unravel if it’s not secured at both ends, but the way it threads the new loop through the old loop with a wheel that keeps turning in the same direction all the time, that is just pure magic and has no right to be possible in regular three dimensional reality.

Hang in there. All the best for getting all good with everything.

You said

To me, these aren’t a bad idea.

and yet you also said

The devices—operated remotely by a team in Texas

in the very same post.

I wouldn’t want some bored trigger happy gun nutjob from Texas playing shoot the bad guys with pepper spray on a games console where my kids and their multi ethnic friends are the NPCs.

Honestly pretty good. Family’s good, work is good. Can’t complain really. Although I’m British, so the phrase “mustn’t grumble” is to be used with a degree of resentment. Wait - I’ve got it - of course! The weather! It’s been pretty rubbish this summer. Too hot, too cold, too dry, now too wet. That’s better.

Heyyy! Dharma Curious! Long time no interaction! I can’t remember what comm we interacted in, what we said, whether it was before I moved instance to .world, or why I like you, but I do, and it’s good to see your name on my screen again. Hope you’re doing good.

(Me too, by the way.)

I like your style.

No. Do you have sex during sex scenes?
