I think this is the key here:

The DUP, the party supporting the Conservatives in Parliament, believes a bridge could break the Brexit impasse by removing the need for a border in the Irish Sea.

How would a bridge remove the need for a border? Digging a canal between the republic and northern ireland seems like a more effective way to deal with border issues.

e: Aah, I see someone else is already on the case.

Yeah, I'm wrong. It's like saying a bridge between the US and Canada removes the need for a border.

The coolest thing about this proposal is that it doesn't really help England in any way, and only makes sense if Scotland stays in the UK which is highly questionable at best

i think a tunnel between kintyre and the glens (of antrim) could hypothetically be like 10km long, which is a fifth of the channel tunnels length

but you run into the problem of who wants to go to either of those places, let alone between them

Driving from Glasgow to the Mull of kintyre takes four hours. Even if the bridge was possible it would still be faster and more convenient to take the ferry for most people.

I keep feeling like this can't possibly be happening (over here in the US) and people can't possibly be doing this, and yet it is and they are.

Always explain America to Western Europeans by asking them to imagine if their country was grafted onto like Serbia or Moldova. Not EU style. But like literally added together.
If they shudder you know they understand now.

That might just be Western Europeans instinctive racism though.

Jesus was white, straight, and definitely hosed every day. Once you internalize those facts Evangelicals make a lot more sense.

jesus was a carpentry small businessman whose hard work allowed him to retire early, who then traveled around the modern and continuously existing state of israel conducting seminars teaching others the secrets of his success mindset, along with twelve of his fantasy gladiator league buddies. sometimes they fished and threw back brews (the brews were called wine but it definitely was nothing like what we call wine because jesus wasnt a fuckin pansy)

jesus even invented mudding when he threw mud in the eyes of a blind man, who could immediately see and said "wow, that's the coolest thing ive ever seen. i shoudl assemble my entire identity around this activity"

There was a song in one of the Something Awful Christmas Albums called "Blue-eyed Blonde-haired White Baby Jesus" and it is just so drat catchy that it still pops into my head whenever I see a manger scene at Christmas
