The only pleasure I've had this weekend is retweeting every single "actually Brexit is bad" tweet with some variation of "oops" as commentary. It's very satisfying

Homeopathy does work for some people, namely chronic hypochondriacs who would otherwise drain the time and resources of every doctor who acquiesces to their demand that they do have Chagas disease this time, honest to god.

A) That predates the UK, B) the American colonies weren't even that important in the scheme of things compared to for instance India, plus we didn't even lose all of them (see: Canada). Soo, yeah, greatest cockup of all time, really.

hookerbot 5000 posted:Pretty sure it'll be fine, where abouts are you heading? Where I am (rural West coast) the reactions have just been sad and disbelieving, but it feels like we're kind of waiting now for what's next (most likely another independence referendum) We're flying to Edinburgh and then doing a 12 day tour around Scotland. My Euro wallet may appreciate what the UK has done to itself, but reactions here in Flanders were about the same. A friend's fiancee is a Brit who works for the EU, so she's particularly devastated  Of course right now it's been a few days so our prime minister announced he's going to run a Welcome to Belgium campaign to try and lure in businesses that are looking to leave the UK.

It's very satisfying Haha that's fantastic, do one a day and it could last you well into your twilight years, like a bonsai tree of stupidity. The only redeeming thing about this whole situation, really, is that it's as hilarious as it is depressing. Voter disenfranchisement is a problem, JUSTIFIED voter disenfranchisement is like a perfect storm of idiocy. The people's total lack of faith in their own government has torn the nation apart, time to take decisive action to resolve the situation! ... *picks nose* EDIT: ephex posted:Only 36% of the 18-24 year olds took part in the votes, but yeah, gently caress the old people lol i wonder why that is, is there some reason that young people have lost faith in the democratic system Yinlock fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Jun 27, 2016 |

Miftan posted:Would they though? I swear people who can't bear any criticism of Corbyn think "leader of a political party" is synonymous with "person who has the best ideas" and isn't actually a job with responsibilities where you have to do specific things to manage the party. The leader actually has to do things to keep the party under control, it's not just being "head of socialism" and everyone listening to you. It's not news that a lot of other MPs in a party don't like the leader, that's always been the case. It's not an easy thing to wrangle a political party into doing what you want them to, and he's no good at it. Most party leaders in the past, who many or may not have had preferable political views, have been better at it and therefore have been able to get things done because the whole bag of cats hasn't burst and everyone ran wild. To summarise - being the best player doesn't mean you should be the team captain.

Blue Star Error posted:Just give them tap water its the same thing what eases their symptoms is validation: the nice person listens to them, gives them some really interestingly mystical sounding tap water which they can go home and Google to find lots of marketing enforcing the validation. you can do all of this without putting money in the pocket of murderers and if it's done by medical professionals they are also more likely to catch the rare "poo poo it's actually cancer" cases
