Ei, quem não viu o Emmanuelle, tem de ver. É um clássico.

That's correct. My country does not observe it.

I pay those. I have a plot of land and pay tax on it.

Any other suggestion?

What is the alternative? Asking honestly.

Wouldn't eat it even if paid to do it.

Essential goods have a 6% taxation in my country (Portugal). This also applies to the first 200kw/h you use in your home.

Then there is a 13% for services, like restaurants. I think wine is also taxed thia way.

The higher tier is reserved for non essential items, like cookies, chocolate, fuels (which are technically being double taxed), cars, etc.

We also pay a direct contribution for our social security system (11% over your gross salary, monthly), plus a direct taxation over our overall monthly salary (the minimum wage workers are exempt from this).

The discussiom on these taxes is long, old and boring but it essentially boils down to having those who want something, pay for it.

I found this in the wild, at an online shopping site.

So the old model of "throw more power at it and see what happens" finally broke. It's a computer, not a V8.

Strange laws. Children from immigrant families can enroll to school in my country even while their families are waiting for have their requests processed to become declared immigrants.

Squid, I'm going to be level with you. I risk we're in the same time zone. It's getting late and I've been awake since four a.m.; I'm running on fumes here.

Feel free to message me if you feel like chatting a bit. I spend way too much time here, under the excuse of getting some information in my head.

Keep trying, both for work and for a way to get your daughter to be safe there, here, in Europe, permanently. Please, Squid. From a father to another. We can never give up.

She's too young, obviously. But being so young is she in risk of deportation? Families tend to enjoy a bit more liniency.

You may be a bit outdated but I'm going to risk you are not "unusable". I can't fathom what you actually do but there must be something you can do with those skills.

But can't your daughter apply for a work visa herself? Or a school one?

And what are your skills? If my countrymen, dumb as doorknobs go there and find work, it can't be that hard.

But why will your daughter be taken from you?

Again, isn't it possible for you to stay in the UK indefinetely? Just settle there? Or perhaps on some other european country?

Using a gif for a visual cue of my mental state isn't trolling. It's just me lacking words to perfectly express myself.

I'm not going to arm wrestle you to decide if I'm putting up a fake caring facade or if I'm being honest. That is solely up to you.

And to borrow your words: you are free to stop talking to me and be rid of me for ever.

That is the uggliest poodle I have ever had the unfortune to look at! And it's filthy!

Because empathy costs nothing, yet it is so hard to see it be spent.

Because I take no joy of seeing another human being suffer.

Because I want to show, even if only for a brief and fleeting moment, concern for you and your troubles.

Because I want to.

Why is going back the only option? Can't you work there?

Why will that happen? And what has changed so you can't take advantage of moving to the UK?

Because I don't see this exchange as win/lose situation I can only state, again, that I find your statement unnecessarily cruel towards yourself.

That was unnecessarily cruel towards yourself.

Have I been engaging you in bad faith? Have I resorted to insult or personal attack? If so, that was uncalled for and I sincerely apologize.
