Cunt gets curious looks but fuck is just fine. Even when talking to Americans. Sometimes especially when talking to Americans.
Shit, I've joined teams and spent two weeks learning the people and being careful about my phrasing then, on getting pissed off with a compiler and telling it to fucking behave the worthless fucking piece of fucking shit, being thanked by the team who'd been worried that I didn't swear.
Interesting way to gain acceptance but also indicative of corporate cultures. Shit, people say offensive crap all the time, stop me saying 'fuck' and wave goodbye to half your conversation.
May being an authoritarian cunt has fuck all to do with Brexit or the EU, so stop trying to use one fact to explain your miserable ignorance about the other.
They don't have enough man-power or support to wade into a bad area and clean it up without trampling on any rights of the people in that neighborhood.
How the fuck exactly would you do that? Just what are you expecting the police to do to prevent poor disaffected youths in London from joining gangs and knifing each other that doesn't impinge on the rights of poor disaffected youths in London?
Luckily the European Convention on Human Rights isn't an EU convention and leaving the EU does not mean we cease to be signatories.
I mean, it's not like the convention was proposed by a British politician or primarily drafted by British lawyers. Except that it was.
Maybe Britain is fucking good at human rights without needing the EU to mandate it. Strange that, you'd think we were a capable sovereign nation and can be in the future.
On a Ryanair flight out of Berlin my assigned seat was taken by a man sat next to a four year old girl. He looked up, apologised and asked if I minded if he sat with his daughter.
I thanked him for saving me and found an empty aisle nearby.
Facebook has an operating profit margin of 47% so you'd expect them to pay tax in the UK at around 19% of 47% of UK revenues.
£1.27bn in revenue would thus equate to around £113m in tax. The global 47% may not apply exactly in the UK so you'd expect some variation from that.
Facebook paid £7.4m in tax.
That's a fuck of a lot of variation. I don't give a fuck what they report to the SEC, they're clearly not paying a fair share of their tax burden in the UK. Which is the point the person to whom you replied was making.
Did the guy even lose anything, or did he leave the country with everything he entered with? If he did hand over and leave behind specific items, they weren't stolen. They were seized. It's a different term because it has different meaning.
When a legally authorised body asks nicely for something, gets told to fuck off and instead uses their legal powers to take it, that's not robbery. That's called due process. The businessman had access to the courts and could easily have asked a lawyer to file an injunction against the Government if he felt that there was an issue under the law.
While that may mean it falls under 'color of the law', whatever the fuck that phrase means, it also means it falls under 'enforcing the law'. Fucking deal with it or fuck off out of my country.
You're mistaking a newspaper (The Guardian) with a gutter rag (The Daily Mail)
Oh please. The primary difference between them is that the Daily Mail is honest about its biases and doesn't give a shit. The Guardian is just as biased but pretends otherwise.
The Daily Mail likes a good rant about immigrants, the Guardian likes a good rant about men. It's still fucking prejudice and bigotry.
Have you ever owned a home? Mine is not worse than when I bought it. It's been decorated, it's had a new boiler, the bathroom is much nicer and everything's been maintained.
It's objectively at least as good as it was. Meanwhile its value has gone up significantly because even if I'd let it fester housing is now more expensive and people are willing to pay more for a home.
The article is not bullshit, and yes, the media and retailers push black friday as a thing in Europe. It spent 2-3 years growing in the UK and has spent a year or two lessening in significance, but it's still a thing.
A shitty thing, but stop burying your head in the sand and pretending otherwise. Maybe in your little corner of the continent it doesn't happen but Europe's a big place.
I may be a fucking moron but I'm also right. Unlike you.
What sort of fucked up echo chamber are you trapped in that basic common fucking sense evokes so strong an emotional reaction? You may want to seek medical assistance, there are trained professionals out there that can help you.
It's quite hard to change an employment contract, especially when it's a standard term included for everybody in the company.
"Ok, location, hours, salary, holiday, medicall. This is all great, I can start on Thursday. You just need to drop that arbitration clause." "No. Sign the contract or we withdraw the offer."
What's the average 30 year old about to start a job with Google going to do?
This is oddly one of the rare occasions on which a union might actually be useful.
Oh bullshit. There weren't mass protests. A few people took an early lunch and made a lot of noise about it.
Google's only lack of workplace protections are for competent people trying to do their fucking job. They already had anti-harassment policies, already enforced them, already took action against abuses of power.
Unless the victims were white, male or ideally both, according to an extensive lawsuit raised against them.
Oh please. "Nice dress" is a compliment or sexual harassment, depending who says it, whether the person wearing the dress likes them and whether a biased witness wants to fuck over the person saying it.
When HR's guidance is "it's offensive if someone is offended" then workplace interactions become a fucking minefield.
This isn't constructive, productive or pleasant but is the direction modern workplaces are going. I already avoid saying anything nice to women in the office because I don't know which one is going to be a fuckwit about it. That damages working relationships for everybody.

Would you say it to your 6 yr old daughter?
Yes. If nothing else so that she learns at an early age that words have no power over her.
A lesson too many adults sadly missed.
Oh, you can use it at work.

The people of the country wanted to leave the EU.
The people of the country don't want to leave ECHR.
The brexiteering politicians aren't that stupid. Except Gove. He's downright fucking malicious.
May is in charge of Brexit.
May wants to leave ECHR.
One does not cause the other.
May's failing fucking miserably at Brexit, you needn't worry about her sticking around anywhere near long enough to threaten ECHR.
May being an authoritarian cunt has fuck all to do with Brexit or the EU, so stop trying to use one fact to explain your miserable ignorance about the other.

Where you filled up yesteday. Costs me $6.94/gallon (more if I use proper UK gallons).
Plus of course the strange assumption that people wouldn't intentionally configure an open hotspot.
I have three SSIDs configured on my wireless router, one of which is entirely unsecured. Makes life very easy for guests.
Friends do similar things.

Pretty much no airline on the planet boards people by 'first to reach the gate' these days.
First class passengers first.
Priority boarding passengers first.
Rows at the rear of the aircraft first.
Mad scramble for seats on an unallocated aircraft? Have you flown since 1978?
Can confirm, just had Malaysian coffee in Singapore and it was fucking fantastic.

that's why it's robbery

No fraud, just a shit housing market.
Such a shame, you ruined a fine rant with bigoted ignorant idiocy.
Faggots are things you eat, not an insult.

The Jehovah's Witeesses seem pretty harmless to me. To the Chinese authorities too, as they're allowed to try and recruit new followers in China.
Maybe Falun Gong are being horribly misrepresented?
Why not. No worse than the US police getting to see what I'm up to in January when I'm there.
Lets face it, the Cambodian police are less likely to shoot me.
Speaking as someone posting from a vessel just off the coast of Cambodia I'd love to get US levels of net access at the price paid anywhere in the US.
Sigh.
