Maybe cozying up to the USA will help with my American wife who is currently trapped in Europe awaiting the home office to randomly deny her application again after 2 months because they didn't read the paperwork we submitted properly.


Hahahaha who am I loving kidding, of course it won't.

Why yes actually, the centrists keep labelling all the lefties as bigots and it's gotten quite insane and McCarthyesque...

Ever since she's been in Europe she's been amazed by how good everything is here from "oh my god the cheese" to "this tomato... Has flavour??"
Basically anything not home grown was poo poo in the USA her entire life.

She still moans about how crap our citrus is here and that what we consider a grapefruit or an orange is an insult. (florida)

1. set up bot that tweets retweet bait

2. strike it lucky and gain a critical mass of followers. this is a random process, so it may be necessary to have many hundreds of thousands of candidate bots engaged in step 1

3. sell account to interested entities that then fine-tune the content, by hand if necessary

once upon a time this was just weird twitter horse_ebooks, but I suspect folks have found that partisans don't really care about provenance, they just want signal boosting

Detention centers full of people going 'Don't you know who I am!"

There is a nasty, spiteful streak in me that wants to see all those octagenarian "ex-pats" with multiple health issues and 'Leave Means Leave' baseball caps herded onto a plane and told they're currently 2857th in the queue to see a GP and the only emergency housing the council can offer is on the 23rd floor of an inner city tower block with no working lift.

The rest of me is aware that housing and healthcare are already overstretched and this would be a disaster for all of us. And it probably won't happen because the other EU countries will either come to an arrangement so that existing residents can stay, or because the ex-pats are wealthy enough that they can continue to keep their detatched 4-bedroom house in the Home Counties and their over-wintering apartment in the south of Spain regardless.

I know they're supposed to have steak in them but the cheaper ones seem to use either corned beef or maybe mince. I've never actually had one with beef chunks in. Besides the point is really the vegetables IMO, you could make it with just beef stock and it still tastes good.

I have family in Portugal who moved from NI in the early 90s because of NI things. They've got Irish passports now but technically British pensions and no idea what's going to happen with that, but no detached 4-bedroom house in the Home Counties to fall back on, that's going to be a hell of an interesting edge case.

cornish pasties are when you make a corned beef pasty but don't corn the beef correctly, thus making it only corn-ish

When you say corned beef pasty do you mean like, a corned beef slice? Like just corned beef and potato mixed together into a sort of meat mortar, some bovine grout, if you will, that you fill a pastry case with?
