freezing rain is less pleasant than like anything up until blizzard conditions. partially because you actually plan for wind chill -30 or whatever and dress appropriately, while freezing rain (incredibly, comically thermally conductive and endothermic) i try to tank. it's pretty unpleasant.

All Diplomacy is basically bad faith bluffing.
The UKs current form of getting 'brilliant' trade deals when they are the opposite shows you how bad the UK is at it.

most UK people are so disengaged with politics they're worse than US liberals in some ways

like they don't know a drat thing about anything but then some guy will come on the tv and tell them the GDP of the UK works like a credit card and it just ruins the minds of 3 generations

12:05 PM greenwich mean time, the Europeans have vanished. Check for yourself if you don’t believe me. Where have they gone to? There is speculation, of course. Scientists mention a cosmic storm that passed the Earth on January 20. A man says they are all in caves. Certain groups lament a faulty Rapture. A woman says he has taken their power and absorbed it into himself. She means Boris Johnson. I doubt it, but he does seem somehow taller. The ground rumbles at times. The breaking news says WESTMINSTER, with red concentric circles. I’m uneasy, but what can we do? Sovereignty is reclaimed and if Boris were a European, he’d be just as gone as them. There’s no cause for alarm. Within months, Boris Johnson has declared a war on vague unease. It’s a good idea, because frankly we could all use some peace of mind. Approval rating is higher than ever now that the Europeans had left, but I don’t think we are happy yet. His eyes are shining sometimes, as a deer’s eyes shine in a flashlight beam. Small fissures criss-cross the pavement. Trees are swaying, but the breeze is gone. Something is changing in our world. Kettles don’t exist anymore. Scientists explain that the density of the air is too low for water to boil. Then how do we breathe?! We should have died by now, but I think we are evolving. Our bodies haven’t changed, but the atmosphere.. One man says it was the rapture after all, and we have since entered the Kingdom of God. Boris is now the size of an oak tree. He sleeps outside since the rains have ceased, and his skin is thick to knives. Now he wanders through he countryside impassively. He ignores a rural photo-op. He studies a leaf for twenty days. Only a fool would call this Heaven. Satellites fall to earth like rain used to. No friction burns them away, so we trudge past countless flecks of solar panel and ribbons of golden cloth. It’s a silent car crash every few hours, though cars themselves no longer run. No oxygen remains to ignite their fuel. Boris strides across the landscape, taller than the Shard. We’ve given up on assassination; all men are immortal now, and knives no longer stab. I’m starting to wish the Europeans were back. We found them with a telescope. Images of a colony on the right side of the moon. See the parts that jut from the lower right? I think they’re European Court of Justice buildings. Soon they are visible to the naked eye, but how? Their cities are enormous. We watch them as they live and die. They have our former atmosphere; the moon is fringed with blue. “Look at how they wield their knives,” writes a man. “I always said he’d take our knives away.” They eat and sleep like we once did, building worthless ziggurats. We have everything we wanted, but oh how we envy their strife! It’s long been clear that Boris brought this uncomfortable perfection upon us, but I can’t bring myself to blame him for it. He’s reminded us all of how our lives had been discarded out of fear. I know now why he grows each day. In time, when we are ready he will reach out into space. He will raise us up in his great hand, to this new Earth that gleams like a frozen star. And if Boris does not carry us, we can climb…
