Your best years will be behind you, you know the ones when it's most fun to have a lot of money. But you can buy a yacht and do that think where you put coke on a bit of a prostitute and smoke her or something? IDK. 20 years is a long time. A lot of otherwise healthy people will be dead in 20 years. Are these people liches? It's yes isn't it. That's the secret. I am willing to go out on a limb and say that very if any people are capable of going from 0 to 100m within 20 years. Mostly because at 0 you're still wondering where your next meal is coming from and where you sleep tonight.

Getting consistent p45s/p60s was nigh impossible, topped with a very complex travel history, created the legal conundrum that I was stuck in. If you're still posting here in a couple of years sure. My process might be a headache yet due to multiple visas that keep changing, but either way I'm not at 5 years yet so here's hoping. Appreciate the offer either way!

Since we are on the subject, does anybody know if people who work for foreign states in the UK are bound by uk employment law for their contracts and such, or by the state they work for? For example, can a contract for the equdorian embassy staff be illegal by uk standards if it's legal by equdorian standards? I haven't been able to find anything on it, and it's a very important issue for a good friend of mine.

It's not about the Ecuadorian embassy, I just didn't want to give away the actual one. Does it being a permanent posting matter? No embassy staff is permanent, and in this case the contract gets "re-signed" every year by both sides so I'm not sure which way this goes. The reason I'm asking is that the contract straight up ignores a load of UK employment laws (and ones from the host country, but that will be much harder to bring to court in the host country), so I was wondering if he could try to get some improvements in working conditions via UK law. Mostly stuff like time spent working, zero hours bullshit with an added minimum shifts per week only on his side (so he has to work 8 shifts a week, but if he's only given 3 that's also fine), amount of holiday/sick leave, etc.

So is nobody gonna call out that the deadline to say what the new state pension age is has passed? I mean, since the tories haven't said anything it's basically bound to go up (and also because tories) and they're just not gonna say anything until after the election. Nobody's even gonna bring it up? What a joke.

Dunno about the uk but some places have a 2 year gap for nonverbal charges around the age of consent, so a 17 year old dating a 19 year old is fine, but not a 21 year old, etc.

I am sure people at the Bataclan, in Nice, in Brussles, in Paris, in the metro in St. Petersberg, at the Berlin Christmas market, on the bridge in London, and at the pedestrian mall in Stockholm all though Terrorism was pretty scary. But they were prob just centrists or reactionaries. Terrorism is frightening on an individual scale, yes. On a state level, it doesn't threaten any European country at the moment. Also, unless you were at any of those places, please don't speak for people who have actually experienced terrorism first hand, alright? It's disrespectful to everyone that has.

Evil_Urna posted:So we just let people get run down and shot up until it reaches an acceptable body count then we do something about it? What do you tell the families of the dead in the meantime? "Sorry about your entire family getting pulped under the tyres of a semi, we could have stopped it but not enough people had died yet" Thanks for ignoring my posts! The actual answer is to sort out the underlying issues that cause people to do this sort of stuff (poverty, racism, etc.) while, unfortunately, suffering the loss of life that the state has brought on itself with lovely foreign and domestic policies. Yeah, it's lovely, but you're not gonna solve this sort of stuff by doubling down on misery (see: Israel) OwlFancier posted:Resources would be far better allocated to any of the myriad things that kill shitloads more people every year but which nobody reports on because who cares about poor people dying because of underfunded healthcare that doesn't sell papers. Also this, put that money into the NHS, better training for drivers and road works which kill far more people, etc. Why aren't you worried about what we're telling all the people dying from, frankly, stupid and completely avoidable issues like NHS underfunding and bad roads?
