Yeah, I got a "memory" about that on Facebook this morning. Amazing.

Me too! Grim... and Cras looked beautiful.

You look ridiculously young.

Oh fuck you.

Oh fuck you.

There's a compatibility tool too. I just ran it on mine out of curiosity and mine fails on the graphics card, which wasn't a great surprise, as I only have a GT 730.

Failed on the graphics card too. Is it easy enough to get a new one and then install it yourself if you're a fucking moron, like me? Does it involve any soldering iron sheeeeet?

Feck me it's hot.

You should have said - were you around yesterday?

Near Kent Ridge station. I'm currently sat in Clarke Quay drinking overpriced beer and waiting for a burger.

Excellent proximity to Haw Par Villa! Make sure you check that madness out.

Clarke Quay is a different kind of mad.

I eat like a fucking sparrow

Diet of worms?

£40 per day per diem for subsistence

You're on a £40 per day per day?

Hooters is rubbish anyway. At least it is in Nottingham.

Rubbish because why?

Personally I'd never step foot in one unless I was physically made to (or made via peer pressure at any rate - I'm weak - ended up at strip club for Cras's stag... brrrr), as I think they're exploitative, demeaning and ghastly.

Exploitative how? Maybe exploiting the customers. Sounds like you don't want to allow women their own agency… how patriarchal!

I'm not a massive fan of strip clubs myself, but I am happy for them to exist as long as the workers are paid well and enjoy their work.

It's something Ruth and I have had a few conversations about and I'm still not wholly sure where I land on it. instinctive liberal lefty approach is "of course women should be allowed to do this, it's fine, what people decide to do in a private consensual transaction is up to them" but the empirical evidence tends towards the fact that it still ends up being vaguely exploitative if not a mask for illegal people trafficking. She's more liberal on this than me.

IMO, that's more of a discussion around whether sex work should be legalised and regulated. As far as I'm concerned, I'm with the "liberal lefty approach" - if that's what people want to do, and it's all consensual then go for it.

The issues lie where there's no (or coerced) consent, i.e. with the trafficking. Legalisation would go quite a long way to sorting that out, I feel. Although apparently it is still quite a big problem in Amsterdam, so who knows. It would at least give those affected a "proper support channel" though.

Genuine, non piss-takey question, but do you think the same about sex workers?

Yes I'm fine with it, with some caveats. You could argue that delivering Amazon parcels on a zero-hours contract is more exploitative than doing cam or phone work from home, for example.
