Bland sure but they arent all miserable. At least you still see joy in life when everything isnt on fire.

My partner introduced me to Metric on roadtrips, they're really cool.

I really like the Foo Fighters. They're coming out with a new album early next year and I'm excited.

not familiar with the ins and outs of eu stuff, but couldn't you have placed just a regular bet through on of the uk betting sites? i thought those were open to any europeans

meanwhile us poor americans are left placing penny ante wagers to take advantage of irrational trump supporters who are willing to give you a dollar for 85 cents because it makes them feel better

norway has a state monopoly on gambling,and though the betting sites will let you go for it anyway i've heard (possibly apocryphal) stories of people getting fined to their eyeballs for online gambling

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

the french like rattling sabres as much as the next dying empire, but macron and his lit are absolutely in love with the security state. they're also making it illegal to take pictures of policemen etc.

in a sense we should be grateful to him for making it so clear that even at the peak of their power liberals will always, in the end, revert to base chauvinism

removing the ability of muslims to organize as a political group is a surefire way to decrease violent actions by youth who feel disenfranchised and alienated

France is hugely anti semetic. If you asked someone in 1900 what country would kill 6 million jews, they'd say france, or russia. Muslims are just the new touchstone since all the jews have been killed.
