8 hours? Yeah, I haven't done that since.. hmm. Yesterday.
My record is 56 hours, online gaming without missing a single match, matches last 5-30 minutes, you always survive the first five minutes and I had to go find food when knocked out early. Sleep? Nah.
Hmm. Working time directive has been an irrelevance anyway, every job I've had has required an opt-out and zero hour contracts are a far bigger issue than people actually having work.
Too long, can't be arsed. Buy me a beer one day and we can do this in detail.
I've been voting against my europhile MP for 18 years. I've seen the EU as damaging to the UK for longer than that, and events in Greece hardly helped.
I'm also very aware of the non-EU migration, but even if we can get the Government to tighten that it wouldn't help with unlimited EU migrants (including the naturalised immigrants some EU countries will provide once the beneficiaries of open border policies gain citizenship).
Yes, the NHS has a dependency on imported skills. That's not a good thing though, so again I'm happy for a difficult transition period that leaves us in a more sustainable longer term position.
As for EU funding in regions, why the hell are we letting our own Government get away with being shit at this? Again, fix our own country.
As for EU protections on workers rights, we will not lose those if we leave. The EU repeal bill doesn't say, "except for those pesky workers rights". We have far better rights than EU minimums anyway, this is an area in which the UK frequently takes a lead.
Btw, 'what the fuck' in no way indicates anger. It's how I talk.
What the fuck makes you think I vote on utilitarian grounds? Go read Thaler.
As for a European superstate it's hard to define because so few Brussels bureaucrats are willing to articulate what they're trying to achieve. It's clear they want a common foreign policy and common currency, and those alone drive standardisation across a range of other policies, none of which can suit all members of the EU equally.
The UK could continue to fund the development of the rest of Europe or we could focus that investment on our own country and use trade to enrich our neighbours.
Then there's the whole immigration thing. The UK has enough people. Public services are stretched and struggling, the tax revenues aren't adequate to fund services that meet demand and immigrants are disproportionately placing demands on those public services.
So I voted for a position that lets us trade without forcing onto us policies that damage my country, that lets us accept immigration in a controlled form, that lets us fuck up our own nation instead of letting others do it to us.
Is this economically foolish? Hell yes. I'm willing to pay the price.
Yeah, my youtube channel gets hammered by the music industry - over 900 videos flagged as having copyrighted music in them.
None of which I've added, it's always incidental music someone else is playing in the background.
I can't licence it. I don't know who the rights holders are for it. They wont negotiate with me, and they certainly wont agree to a reasonable fee of about a tenth of a penny per song.
If I was broadcasting on the radio or playing music in a club, I could get a blanket licence quite cheaply but on the Internet it's just not possible.
So fuck them, the whole system is broken and I don't respect it.
Surely our moral obligation is to assist in preventing these abuses, not adding abuses of our own?
You're replying to someone that's challenging the killing of civilians, are you really going to say that more civilians should die?
Shit, UK Government ministers have advocated for the extra-judicial killing of British citizens instead of, on their return to the UK, prosecuting them under the rule of law. That goes against 800 years of British legal precedent!
I can't see it happening. The moment you ban sex robots half the country will demand the law is repealed. It's not (just) men buying all those vibrators..
Man: Damn, where are all the women? She looks nice but that creep's all over her, and that fat one looks like she wants kids and half my money.
Woman: Woohoo, targets ahoy. Which one will I fuck tonight?
While I'm sure that some women do use sex workers the prevalence is significantly lower than their male counterparts.
I haven't researched but I'd guess male sex workers servicing the male market will be close to (or maybe more than) then number servicing female demands.
Well, there are numbers about the law enforcement industry, but those aren't the numbers that would determine the success or failure of a change in legality.
I'm entirely supportive of people using their physical assets for financial gain if that's their choice.
That includes highly skilled footballers and people working in the sex industry.
I would still never use a prostitute, partly because I refuse to support the exploitation of the members of that industry that aren't working in it from choice.
To person to whom you replied didn't state that all trafficked sex workers were in that job involuntarily, just that it was silly to state that none were.
Technically they're all trafficked, due to the legal interpretations of that word. That sadly just complicates the issue.

University was fun ;)
Will the ASIC run Plunkbat at 1440p with full AA and all settings set to max and still give me 60fps?

If they don't want to deliver music to you on your terms, that is their right.
Thing is, they don't have to deliver the music. It exists. It's out there.
What the fuck gives them the right to stop me making the air move?
Or go bang two rocks together and stomp your feet to make music.
That's exactly what Spotify are doing, and being sued for. See how fucking stupid the current situation is?

What part of drone striking a wedding is helping prevent radicalisation of people, whether under religious pretenses or otherwise?
There's no blame deflection going on, it's a perfectly reasonable criticism of existing UK and NATO member policies.
I've yet to meet one who didn't vote brexit for stupid reasons
I've yet to meet one that did.
I voted to leave the European Union. I don't want my country to be part of a European superstate.
Maybe you think that's a stupid reason.
tomorrow it's someone who criticizes Islam
Good luck criticising that archaic superstitious nonsense in the UK even today.
Elected members of fucking parliament get censured (not a typo) for criticising the religion of (trucks of) peace.
Was not struck by the vehicle
Erm. Then what caused the blunt force injury to the chest?

Once robot 'AI' is sufficiently capable to support interactive conversation and/or basic household tasks humanoid robots will become popular.
At which point.. pluggable attachments ;)
Can't see this guy getting probation. This is the sort of thing a DA likes to be seen cracking down on in their election flyer.
Sadly I fear you're probably right about the police officer.
Physically, maybe.
Mentally he does appear to be acting at a pre-teen level.
Unless the definition of 'brothel' being used here is any place one or more prostitutes choose to work
In the UK, that's pretty close to the definition, yes. Two or more, though.

'Easier' isn't the term I'd use. It's more viable, but that doesn't make it easy.
You do hear of the women that earn enough to retire at 25 with a property portfolio but I suspect they're in a very small minority.
Someone's already been prosecuted for importing a child sized sex doll into the UK.

Adult ones haven't been criminalised (yet).
I can't see it happening. The moment you ban sex robots half the country will demand the law is repealed. It's not (just) men buying all those vibrators..
You're a woman in Europe. In which country are you most likely to report being raped to the police?
If I could get more then a days salary by fucking some lonely woman I'd do it in a heartbeat.
If you'd met some of the lonely women I dance with you'd be looking for more money than that.
Shit, you'd need more than that just to pay for the viagra and a fluffer before you could meet her needs.
Well paid tech worker in Seattle goes into a bar.

Can you promise it didn't hit a ramp and go airborne?
