I'm not American and have no interest in that side of stuff. Keep your partisan political terms and debates to yourselves. Call them forced to migrate, indented servants or whateve…

I used to be of that mindset (re: become a republic) but tbh I'm more of the line of thinking, if it ain't broke... With the parliamentary style of government, you need a figurehea…

My comment relates more to irl conversations. I'll freely admit to not reading up too much on British republicanism.

I feel you. > I can backlog it as a bug, but it's not going to be easily searchable. In my experience, I've marked it as a bug, comment with the stack trace and mark as U. Then whe…

> I don't know where to start, consider me triggered ;-) Ha! You and me both. As an Irish lad in the UK, one of the funniest things I still encounter is republicans (British ones!)…

> albeit well over 300 years later, and as further proof that the Irish have perhaps the longest memories in the world. Oh right. At what point do historical figures get a free pas…

Seems pretty pre-mature to start comparing countries. We'll know better in a few months/a year, who handled things competently and who didn't.

> What Will You Do to Save Civilization? Keep providing for my family and raising my kids to be decent people.

> If you believe nobody credible opposes the UK government, you've been fed a narrative. That's a complete strawman. You gave a letter signed by a massively padded out list of "aca…

Tbh I'm not gonna buy a giftcard for a place that has a high chance of going under in a few months. Yes, I know that can help cause it but still. We're staring down the face of a g…

I bought a lot of canned and long lived foods (ones I'd buy anyways), toilet paper, tissues and medicines. Can't get hand sanitiser in any supermarkets since last Friday.

I wouldn't work for a company involved in the deliberate taking of human life. There's a lot of big gambling companies near me that have me conflicted. I enjoy a flutter and all, b…

Well depends on the country more than company, doesn't it? I have 34 days PTO this year, which is not out of the norm for my peers and broadly in line with previous employers.

Just reading up on it now. Seems interesting, might give it a shot next time.

Global indexed funds. 23% gain in 2019. Nice.

Hi all, I'm looking to try some matched betting and am wondering if anyone has had any experience. I only want to try it up to the point of exhausting free offers. I looked into it…

> that is a feature! You don't know how I miss that! Yep, handiest way to perform a first pass on narrowing down an introduced bug between a few commits.

My main tools are: Cmder console emulator - https://cmder.net/ Visual Studio Notepad++

I wonder if that's a common theme among long time emigrants? I moved to the UK just over 5 years ago, I love home but find it slightly depressing being back there for more than a c…

Yawn, some people will go. They probably would have anyways. Life goes on. All the celebs who said they'd leave, won't. I'm getting tired of seeing this again and again

I was born in '85 and grew up without a microwave. My parents still don't have one. I only got one a couple of years ago, still seems pretty new and I don't fully trust/know a lot …

Why?

Sure but I couple my experiences with what I've read on what it's like there, and well what more can one do? I probably could apply for a job there but that seems a bit of an extre…
