is there a name for this phenomena? like the opposite of when someone posts eg "9/11 is old enough to drink!" and all the old timers groan. I keep going "2018 was only last year!?! gently caress me I'm young"

He used to burn money in front of homeless people. This is why people talk about the conservatives having a "strong floor".

They'll tolerate anything to pay a little less in tax and see fewer people in the shop who don't look like them.

It's courtier politics: feeling important and throwing witty barbs at each other at the ball while supporting the status quo that keeps them there to the last of them. Corbyn threatens that cosy 'politics as parlour game' setup.

James Hetfield is great, such a wallopper
"Don't Tread On Me, I love the song, but it shocked a lot of people, because everyone thought it was pro-war when they thought we were anti-war, and alls we're doing is writing songs, we're not standing politically on any side. "

Both sidesing war is pretty dope.

E: Update: dad has put the sign in the bin.

I dont... my evil old cow mother is staying with me and threatened to RIP down my labour sign and I told her she better have someone to remove it from her arse first.

On way back from tests at hospital, and the marvellous doc said my healths better and asked if I'd been exercising, and I said it was just walking, canvassing. He looked at me through squinty eyes asking for who. When I said labour he was beaming, said I'd earned a gold star, and could help myself to opioids of my choice. Ok, not the last bit (it was implied) but he asked what I thought of the Leeds hospital issue. I told him what anyone in this thread would, forgot myself and called Joris a oval office. He was still grinning and said "obviously, in this situation I cannot give you my opinion. But I agree."

Thank you. It truly means a lot to me when people say stuff like this (and I always struggle with it). I know that a lot of mods and whatnot have not done great in SA and the site itself is a tough one, but helping out makes Games a fun place to chat about games has always been something I enjoyed.
