Powershift posted:In the last decade, the political landscape in the UK has been quite dynamic, and is capable of being quite dynamic. It's not like the US Where despite sanders popularity, because he only gets 48% of one of the 2 parties, he's completely marginalized. If a populist like sanders could rise to the same levels in the UK, they would gain a reasonable amount of sway in the political discussion. Ferremit posted:Its actually quite nice to have someone else to point at and go "SEE!!! THEY"RE MORE RACIST THAN US!!!!!" while we still hold women and children in overseas You know how there are all those migrants which, yes, a lot of people voting leave wanted to keep out the UK? And there's a lot of them near the border in France, like at Calais? Well, none of these people thought about why they're in France. It's because of a thing called the Le Touquet Treaty, whereby Britain and France agree to operate border control on each other's side of the channel, so the French can stop people they don't want from getting into France before they leave the UK, and the UK can do likewise. Guess what the French have just said? And so, the people who are racist, who did vote based on Keep The Furners Out, who do think that these camps represented an imminent horde that's a massive threat, have just caused the removal of the biggest impediment to any illegal immigration from them, the fact they were twenty miles away across the loving channel. There's slamming your dick in the car door, and then there's making every effort to smack it into a bollard on each opening as you go for that extra hard swing. To be not only racist, or stupid, but racist, stupid, and enact your racist stupidity in such a way as to stupidly undermine your own racist ideas.

The tread title has been prophetic. Corn nailed it. Yes, bigotry and ignorance played a part in this clusterfuck. But what corn outlined allowed that to blossom into what happened on Thursday. Ordinary people do hosed up things when hosed up things become ordinary. The fact that many of the people that caused this to happen will be those most hurt by it is a tragedy is not something to be gloated over and I think the reaction I've seen has mostly reflected that, if interspersed with some serious frustration.

Powershift posted:It's clearly happening in areas of canada, too. Real estate being treated as an economic driver, when it results in an affordable housing crisis that starts eating into every other sector of the economy, foreign investment, specifically chinese, is blamed. Just want to say this is astoundingly, incredibly similar to what's happening in NZ right now, even down to blaming the chinese. Enourmo posted:I can't believe the UK has, at least temporarily, upstaged the dumpster fire that is the US presidential elections. And this. Hit the nail on the head and I'm glad that, at least for a few days, I don't get 'you wont BELIEVE this OUTRAGEOUS thing TRUMP SAID!!!!!!' in every form of media.

I went to the local dirt track/eigth-mile drag strip for the first time with my boss and a coworker the other week and it was a hilarious amount of fun. I can't believe I've lived 25 minutes away from that place for 16 years and have never gone before. Between drinking beers in the parking lot and trying not to be seen (no alcohol on the premises, apparently my boss doesn't give a single gently caress) and the cars (good lord those fuckers can hustle on dirt) and the variety of food you could get with chili and cheese on top I was in loving heaven.

One of my friend's 17 year old son ran his mouth to a dude on Facebook and that guy showed up at their family owned store today looking to beat the kids rear end. His mom talked the dude down but holy poo poo, way to piss a dude off and leave him everything he needs to find you kid.

So, apparently the spray wax I used hates extremely high humidity and wouldn't dry properly, so now it looks like poo poo. There goes 3 hours of washing, clay baring and polishing before I started waxing.

That's actually only half the field, also. Their main has water bartels, tires, boats, jet skis and wrecked cars on the track as obstacles. The night is figure 8s, trailer figure 8s, and then that. It's glorious and just makes you sit there laughing and pointing all night.

Just checking in from FL360 to say that A) Spain is pretty awesome when you have your own mansion in the mountains with a view of the Mediterranean and seven bottles of gin, and B) sorry to all Brit goons that you now have to deal with all this bullshit, but extremely interesting nonetheless to hear your take on it. Also, rental car was a Yaris Hybrid. Still a Toyota, but pretty loving snazzy tech, and very good mileage.

My son doesn't leave his loving seat, if he doesn't like it tough poo poo.

Kid kept bashing his toy car into the guy in front of him and the dude calmly turned around, took the car and chucked it over the bleachers. Dude was like 6'5" and 300lbs. Kid's dad was a tiny little hipster and said nothing.

I'm not saying it's the only way, but it's definitely one of the ways.
