Alright, I’ve had enough of this shit.

I said this in another thread but I really want a word of the day calandar with other country’s insults. I want to make sure I’m saying them properly

My feelings on Scottish independence have done a complete 180 in the last 12 hours, which may be the fastest reversal I’ve ever managed.

I’d love to see them just re-vote, with a quick “Right! Sorry about before, then!” But in a British accent so it’ll be all charming.

Not a chance for me; I’m okay with Clinton, she’s infinitely preferable to Trump, and I realize that neither Stein nor Johnson have a chance of winning (and I don’t know enough about Johnson to know if I find him preferable to Clinton). However, I do the the sense that some of Sanders’ supporters are refusing to vote

Symbolic protest votes in the US is how we might potentially end up with commander in chief Trump.

A nice illustration of why this form of direct democracy isn’t a good idea, and why I have a hard time taking populist political platforms seriously.

Maybe this can be a lesson for all of the Americans who want to vote for Trump in November as some sort of protest vote.

Let’s hope this doesn’t happen in November with Bernie supporters (I’m one of them) voting for Jill Stein as a protest candidate.

So let me get this straight, the UK is about to leave the EU, the PM is about to resign, and the world economy is about to go on a tailspin... all because more than half the UK thought this was make believe? How do you think your vote doesnt count? Isn’t that the point of a democratic system? That your vote counts?

Well, if enough people cast symbolic votes in protest, I guess it’s not surprising if their votes end up counting for something. I don’t know, I'm still in shock — now I know how non-US people feel during the elections tbh.

“So, yeah, quite worried now.”

I think the period of uncertainty that we’re going to have for the next couple of months, that’s just been magnified now.

Fuck this fucking idiot. What did he think this was? A Twitter poll?

its like when you were little and fighting with your brothers in the car on the way to see Tarzan and your mom said she would turn the car around if you didnt stop and you didn’t believe her so you kept fighting and then she did and your life flashed before your eyes.

Honestly, I was born and raised in South Florida, and my family dog once suffered the same fate as that 2 year old (he got away from my mom, ran for a quick wade in the pond and was taken) and I was STILL surprised to find that there were alligators near that beach in the Seven Seas Lagoon. They had it set up as a

Jesus Christ, people are dumb.

Having lived in Florida for only a short time in my life, for most people, gators seem like a weird animal that exists somewhere else. It is really not commonly known how widespread the gator population is in Florida and even as far as southern Virginia.

He sounds frustrated. I think that’s fair. I had a difficult enough time cancelling my pest control quarterly service, and I’m not even overseas sans phone filming a reality show.
