that's the best trick the english empire came up with, was turning different tribes and factions against each and getting them to help out with wet work so the english had more time to spend hunting down native children

As someone who drinks way too much when I drink, stop drinking, it's clearly not helping when you're pissed and it'll only make your anxiety worse when you're not.

It's not my fault that a sizeable chunk of England (hence my contention with the English) voted to effectively shoot ourselves collectively in the foot.

When brexit is done what do you think is going to happen? Scotland already blames England and by extension the English for this poo poo we're all in, it's not a coincidence that brexiteers aligned themselves heavily with English nationalist rhetoric and people

Maybe relying more on yourself and less on the English would help you to stop viewing them as a universal scapegoat.

Yes, yes it does. I’m feeling much better since I went from ‘having a drink once in a while’ to ‘not drinking’. Particularly if stressed/anxious. Get thee to the gym!

Doing my best to change topic. On that note, Angela Rayner has said there should be a second referendum, and there should be proper scrutiny of the bill that can’t be ensured by the governments timeline.

Yeah same, fucken stag dos. I was just dumb and irresponsible and drank way, way, way too much, spent way too much, and while I wasn't out of control I put myself into a situation where a lady kissed me (I think she was trying to prove a point to her boyfriend) and I feel incredibly guilty even though my partner just laughed it off when I told her about it.

And even now my sweat and salivary glands aren't working right and my head is pounding and my guts are basically paralysed and I am too, too old for this poo poo.

Think I'm quitting for awhile and were it not for social expectations and anxiety I'd quit permanently.

Yeah it's a little like someone posting "ACAB" and someone responding with "b-but my brother in law is a copper and he's nice :smith: ".

It's really not, because you have to choose to be a cop. The only reason ACAB works is that even the 'nice' cops are still choosing to be agents of the state who primarily defend the rich from the poor.

Noone chooses their nationality (apart from Cohoolie obviously), so it's not remotely comparable.

It happens man, and if your partner is anything like my wife, she’d be angrier if I didn’t say anything and someone else let slip than if I just said something immediately.

Cheers bud, appreciated. Intellectually I know you're right, but the remaining booze anxiety is loving with me emotionally. But I know it's just temporary, just need to ride it out and by the weekend or so I'll have integrated.

Nevertheless booze makes me stupid and impulsive and unbalanced even though it makes me feel like I'm the complete opposite of those things when I drink and it really is a loving trap. God I wish weed was legal

Again tho I best stop whinging and get thinking, time to teach some classes. Sorry for the derail chums

^^ the best hangover cure for me is sugar, salt and rest. Not to get too crispchat, but corn based snacks are pretty good as they release energy slower and are full of fat and salt and good stuff. But if you're on a 3 dayer, maybe just have a bath and treat yourself nice. Only been recently hangovers have made me feel depressed rather than just physical symptoms, which is poo poo.

Otoh the Scots, much as they are better than the english, are pretty hilarious too. They were heavily involved in some of the nastiest bits of empire and after banging on about it for centuries decided they didn't want their freedom if it'd made them 50 quid poorer a year.

Sturgeon is complaining that the Irish are the focus of things and why do they get special treatment? Well they spent a couple decades fighting a bloody war of independence and civil war. You guys wouldn't put a tick on a ballot.

Still way better than us but the 2nd worst of the British people's for sure, although I don't know much about the cornish but their fish and chip game is pretty strong.

In these times of disunity, perhaps we should stop the pissing contests between whether it's 'the English' who are terrible or 'the British' who are terrible or some other people and concede that over the past 400 years it's been the Europeans who have been the driving force for poo poo around the world, from the Taino to the Congo to the Somme, and that's on the entirety of Europe.

E Stercus Unum


Also we should let a new world government by non-Euro descended people redraw the borders of Europe, ending the nationalism debate once and for all.

I'm not gonna rant on too much about that fairly innocent species, but among mushroom people, that's a shibboleth

also it's the same mushroom, don't pay more for it when it's brown
