I'm waiting to re-subscribe to motogp.com until the very last minute in the hopes the euro will tank and make it cheaper than $150 bucks. Bring on the meteor.

Being a New Zealander, living in the U.S., but specifically in the state of California right now is.... Confusing. Seriously, the people in my lab/building are wandering around all hollow eyed. That's the ones that have come in to work at all so far (it's noon). Just....ugh.

I was born in New England, then when I was a kid my parents moved us to NZ in 1986 because they were convinced Reagan was going to start a nuclear war. I really resented that, because, well a bit of culture shock? (I was 15 at the time). Two TV channels? Bullied for my accent, and that I didn't want to play sport? , it sucked. Rang them last night to thank them profusely

All of my American friends are really disappointed in the results. The ones who are also minorities seem to be starting actual nervous breakdowns.

They got what they deserved really. The DNC was found to be corrupt as gently caress and no one did anything. Likewise Clinton. And of course not enough people went and actually voted. Hopefully now they realise how bad their system is and will be motivated to fix it.

I note that Slavoj Zizek also wanted Trump to win, because he his an "accelationist" In other words, he wants to burn everything down.

It was dead regardless. Clinton was going to kill at as well, only through not being able to get it past the congress rather than because it was "A bad deal. A very bad deal".

SurreptitiousMuffin posted:Yeah, this'll drive NZ a lot closer to China, both politically and financially. Look forward to the surge in NZF support when Winston realises that we're being nice to Asians and kicks up a huge fuss. How could this possibly have happened, say the New Zealand media, unquestioningly reporting everything Winston Peter says or does.

I'm social in bursts - I'm abnormally gregarious for an accountant, but I collapse on weekends. It does help, though. I've basically been shuffled into every leadership position there is - just once, I'd like to be one of the throng. It, uh, doesn't help with the social life, though. Of which I currently don't have any because all of my mates left the country  Nude Bog Lurker posted:How could this possibly have happened, say the New Zealand media, unquestioningly reporting everything Winston Peter says or does. I dunno, Steven Fry made a pretty good point about our politicians and media: They serve us, they serve the filth.

Vagabundo posted:I'm pretty sure she's also on record saying that she would kill the TPPA during campaigning. The inside view was that she was going to re-present it with a few minor changes so she could stay true to her word. That's why she kept saying that she didn't like the final deal, rather than saying she wouldn't pass TPPA But unless Obama manages to push it through in the lame duck period, it ain't happening now.

Still feeling aftershocks in Wellington, as I type this even. Sleeping tonight seems unlikely. Heck, it is hard to tell if I am shaking or the ground is shaking sometimes.
