Update: I tried this. She called her "stunning"

Verdict: Annoyingly inconclusive :argh:

Show her a picture of Tegan and Sara and ask her if she knows which is which.

The absolute PANIC that would overcome Manhattan in case of a bear finding itself somehow there, would be hilarious.

That said I'm pretty sure there are some sad polar bears at the Central Park zoo.

That's entirely my point. If The Libs had primaries he wouldn't be Leader. Same with Shorten and the Labour Party. If you don't know who Shorten is, that's fine, neither do the Australian Public.

Mags, you can probably move to Australia as a felon. But you can't do it directly, you have to get to England first, which is the tricky part.

I'm sorry for my emotional outburst earlier regarding finding housing haha, but I've never been discriminated before (that I recognized as discrimination) and it is very distressing.

Oh well life goes on, can't change the past blah blah blah.

Hope everyone is having a good day

Preferential voting is pretty great, you can support someone without worrying about throwing your vote away.

And Primaries are good in so far as you kind of get to choose the leader. The choice of Party leaders here is all up to the Party.

Theoretically, yeah, primaries are cool.

In reality, you often end up with a severely damaged candidate whose party has ceded control over coalition-building to the media at large, which tends to lead to very cynical voters during the general election. That's not to say the media is bad, it's just that American primaries ascribe a role to the media that contradicts its other interests.

The current system emerged out of a very bad time in American history and the people who spearheaded reform probably went a little too far in changing the process.

When it comes to me all you have to do is ask. Only thing is if it doesn't finish before the 31st of August I'll have to drop out, since I'm traveling back home finally and I won't be really devoting much time to playing mafia.

Thanks it's bound to be nice. It's been almost 3 years since I've crossed the Atlantic and seen everyone I left behind. Also oddly enough it's the first time my partner and I travel together to the States despite having been together now for 7 years. We realized tonight that it'll be our anniversary while on the plane. We're not sure if we're going to buy champagne or not.

Make other people buy you champagne. Or try to get it for free.

Just make some kind of comment about it being your anniversary in ear shot of a flight attendant or loud enough for a seat neighbor to overhear. Almost guaranteed to get you a free drink.

Personally I would tell the flight attendant that you have a rare condition called anniversitis which is a medical condition in which you're lacking boobles minori which the only place you can get are from champagne and its a medical emergency that you have some immediately and it be free.

Tell them you'll sue and then fake a heart attack.

Say you met at a certain time of day and want to commemorate it with champagne, ask if the attendant can bring it to you at X:XX because it's a surprise to your partner
