So today's Boris is great news is a meeting with Macron, where he presumably will show him what he thinks of "the european project", to use the same term as the BBC. I'm really starting to think this is deliberate. e: and yes I'm posting late, I'm unepmloyed and my girlfriend is several timezones away for at least a few months Private Speech fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Aug 22, 2019 |

Diet Crack posted:Just got back from Berlin which is an awesome city and so laid back. Hey, Berlin has its own problems: gentrification and soaring rents have been causing a lot of social tensions (although, unlike in London, something is actually getting done about that). Cool city though, where did you stay? I was over by Kruezberg in the East.

Looking forward to Boris's amazing plan for no-backstop Brexit that he comes up with in a month. Maybe he should take a leaf out of May's book and sit in the dark meditating on the subject.

He's gonna do what I did in secondary school once when I forgot to do some homework where I brought in a floppy disk I knew was already corrupted and feigned surprise when they checked it. "Ohhh noo... my homework that I totally did was on there..."

re: suicide, a friend once told me "the biggest relief was realising that having the thoughts, even the urge, did not make it inevitable." i.e. your brain can randomly go "i'm tired of all this" but that doesn't mean you will/ have to eventually do it.

The true socialist monopoly is when you and everyone else work together to kill and eat whoever the gently caress suggested you play monopoly.

Ah yes, the old 'Socialism doesn't work because of this example, which was Capitalism masked as Socialism and failing precisely because it was actually Capitalism.'

Monopoly occupies that curious niche between the simple game tools like a deck of cards or set of dominoes or dice where you can play endless games from throughout the ages, and the modern in depth games involving d20s and rulebooks or euro-style technical play. It's also poo poo.

Elder sign is also a pretty good co-op board game, if a little complicated to pick up at first. I haven't seen many board games that aren't competitive, come to think of it.

Bman I'm a bit late but it sounds like sertraline isn't working for you and you should really go back to the GP and get on something else asap. Have you been on other ADs before, or is sertraline your first? In any case, please look after your elf Edit - that was supposed to be 'yourself' but please look after your elf as well

Oh cool are we doing board game chat again? My fave co-op game is Eldritch Horror - solid mechanics, ample opportunities for dramatic readings & hammy roleplay, and perfectly well balanced such that if you play well it almost always seems to get to the state where it's just about possible to win if you pull out all the stops. For yet a third Cthulu-themed "co-op", Mansions of Madness is good for a laugh - the app basically GMs for you, good atmosphere and a fun bit of chaos when people start to go insane & a bit of backstabbing comes into play. Will have to try out Elder Sign! In other news: I've got a full day job interview tomorrow for a role I really loving want, including a teaching demo, a lunch with the whole department (and the competition, which sounds awkward as gently caress) and a panel interview. The whole process sounds really poo poo. & my computer just decided to restart & the autorecover on PowerPoint didn't work for some reason so I have to redo the whole loving thing

Eldritch Horror and job hunting both show you the nightmare of vast indifference, but at least in EH you can catch it in a fishing net and batter it to death

OwlFancier posted:The true socialist monopoly is when you and everyone else work together to kill and eat whoever the gently caress suggested you play monopoly. I like playing Monopoly against the computer because it only takes an elementary knowledge of probability to know the properties you're most likely to land in (orange and red, IIRC) and thus I can win nearly every single time. Whoever made that socialist Monopoly can gently caress right off. Humanity is so hosed that spite and hatred are viable things to profit from.
