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 whatever makes yourself feel good. I'll stick with the accurate term for such.

Edit: Sorry for being a dick, I made assumptions there.

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 when it arises again, hopefully someone searches for a part of the stack and comes lucky or more often than not, I (or others) will hear of the crash and relay the bug info. Bug is updated with any new info and live continues until it crashes again... Not perfect by any means. I'd love to hear how others deal with this

> 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!) who hold him up as a hero. You really have to wonder at times.

> 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 pass on bringing up their bad doings?

And by bad doings, we're talking deaths in the hundreds of thousands, enforced slavery etc.

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 "academics" (probably intended to scare your average layman) and when pointed out that astronomers and students probably don't have much to offer right now

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 global recession and I'm got a family to look after.

> hundreds of academics already signed on

So I should listen to a bunch of students, astronomers and others over the Chief scientific officer and health scientist in the country? Riighht....

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, but you hear of some people and how they're addicted to it. I dunno, I just stay clear. There's other jobs out there

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.
