Why would the company shutting down brick the device? Is it calling back home for processing or something.

Doing all three at the same time seems unappealing.

we can go years without peeing before transplant

I'm sure I'm passing this sentence wrong, but I cannot work it out. It sounds like you're saying that sometimes people don't pee until they've had a transplant.

I'm definitely imagining my own father in this example. Is a grumpy ex military sort, so god knows who he would think would be a good date but I can't imagine they would be.

He only ever texts me when he wants something, so if he sent me a message like this he would definitely mean that I literally have to do what he was saying. It wouldn't be encouragement, it would be an instruction he expected to be followed. He wouldn't think of it as being controlling though, he actually would think he was been helpful.

If she's 27 I'm going to assume they are also around that age. I'd already moved out of the house by that point but unless you're really rich or lucky you're probably still fairly reliant on your parents. Most people these days aren't getting their own place until their mid 30s

I do imagine though that after a certain point it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Dating after the age of 25 is really awful, a lot of the people that age have already been in a relationship and have baggage. Some of that baggage walks around asking for juice.

I'd be really interested to know about the logistics of this. Did he arrange this with the girls family or with her directly, both weird, but in different ways.

Although I suppose it can't be any worse than online dating.

Just as long as there's no expectations.

Also I wouldn't trust my parents to arrange me a date, I've met my parents.

England isn't the problem, it's London that's the problem.

London needs to become its own independent city state and then they can do what the hell they want with it and then we'll be governed by someone from Leeds or Manchester or someplace like that, by someone who actually has a grip

There has been a petition. And it has received the aforementioned "lol no" response. The thing is though after the French set the capital on fire the age of retirement still went up, nothing changed.

Anyway, all we have to do is use a VPN to get around it and wait for the inevitable data leak, then the whole thing will collapse under the weight of its own stupidity.
