That was joke.
I'm interested in history and I have minor study on colonist, In the past, Portugal was one of the greatest maritime colonialist and invented modern colonial slavery after all.
I appreciated the contribution to the discussion of history. All good. :)

Yeah, while slavery goes back to even before the Mayans and the ancient Romans and Egyptians, the modern slave trade fit their anything-by-boat business model.

But while they may have invented the SaeHan MPMan F10 mp3 player, Britain was the iPod of it that made everyone forget those early days.

I missed an important question that was related to my recent research, what does "Nautaques" mean in your language? Is this term rooted in history or does it have some kind of special meaning?

Wow, that's really not one I've heard here. It seems to be rooted in the history of Portugal and Persia, representing what were essentially independent fisherman on the eastern shores of Persia who operated like independent pirates -- whether the shipping vessels flew under the Portuguese flag or Persia's.

Puzzled between breaking up with my gf of 6 years and moving back to Reading because my commute to work is too long and expensive (it's costing me £528 a month) or continue to spend such a stupid amount until I find a job in London, which can take several months.

Man I've caught some virus and it's destroying my ass. Apparently huge chunk of population as well. Worse shit than Corona like 5x
This is a new variant virus that has spread around the world, some colleagues and fellas in the work got it and recovered after a whole week rest. Take care and get well soon.

Wait, you commute to Reading for work from London? Didn’t know people did that

Yes... It's a long story.

I moved to London to save my relationship but now my pocket is hurting and it's gonna hurt even more that I'm not eligible for the 26-30 Railcard.

I'm trying to get a job in London but visa sponsorship makes it very difficult.
