Also this, except I use the internet as a part of my job so I would need to take an entire week off from working to take advantage of the offer and that would be a pretty substantial loss.

No, way too much shit I use it for. $50 won't even buy a new game at standard AAA pricing.

Maybe. $50 for a whole week is sorta cheap, I'm gonna come back to a bunch of junk mail. Still, I'm not as attached to the internet as some people. We lost power around here for 3 days last winter after a storm. That was half a week.

If the power was out for a weak, then I could do it because I would be forced to. But I probably would volunteer for it.

For 38? No. Simply because I need the internet in order to do my job searching and qualify for job seekers allowance that is 73 a week. I'd be basically accepting less money with no benefits other than not having to deal with the job centre every fortnight. Also no porn outside of mags would be a sin.

1) Smash newspapers for jobseekers, literally a suggested activity.
2) You don't job search, you copy and paste adverts.

... and is literally the way of the dinosaurs although I suppose I still could go around handing out my C.V to stores like I do now so it would only limit my job searching a lot but not completely. Still it doesn't change the fact that without the internet my claim for benefits is bust. Even more so now they are switching everyone to universal credit that's all online based.

The fuck does this even mean. I look for jobs and apply for them. What more is job searching? Clearly another know it all who actually knows nothing as you demonstrate time and time again.

Probably. Not at like the drop of a hat, but especially if I could plan it. I'd do it on a vacation or something.
I would only do it on occasion, but it's not a sweet enough deal that I would take it often.

So I'm guessing the $50 applies to everything but work?

I suppose I'd consider it. I've been without internet for longer. The biggest loss is reading material, since I don't current own that many books and just read stuff online instead. Game wise, I'm set since even if I can't download additional games, I typically have a large number installed between my systems. I have plenty of DVDs if I want to watch a show.

I'd be annoyed if my nightly post topic died though. :P

Edit - Oh yeah, porn. I save a lot of that. Like I said, I've been without the internet for longer. I know how to be ready.

I'd do the same amount but for a month, really. I have wasted more time on the internet than on anything else. I actually thought about cancelling it before to get away from it, but I online game with friends, and I consider that time well spent since it's a new-age form of social bonding.

Actually it is. It's a requirement for job searching and without actually job searching you don't get job seekers allowance and you certainly can't claim universal credit. I'm not sure what you're trying to debate here. Next you'll be telling a woman who's had a kid what it's like to give birth.

https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit

"Sign in to your Universal Credit account if you already have one."

Although granted I still have to visit my "work coach" just as I do now to sign my claimant commitment mostly. This doesn't actually stop universal credit itself being online based though.

It's funny you have zero proof of the shit you're typing yet I do. I'm aware you just post inflammatory comments just for attention though. You're certainly the worse poster here afterall.

Actually I don't download porn. No need really. Although I admit it's a sad day when there is a internet outage.
