I’m not planning on a burial, but those biodegradable cardboard coffins look pretty awesome, and they’re (comparatively) cheap as fuck too.

My plan is to get cremated - but it would be great to either sneak in some petrol into the casket, or pay the funeral directors to go for a two minute walk while someone packs my casket with fireworks or other low-explosive compounds.

At best, it’ll put on one last show - and at worst it’ll give the crematorium staff member a hell of a shock.

All you had to do, was pick a damn distro CJ.

As shift workers will warmly relate to, coming off a nightshift on a Monday morning when it’s pissing down with rain, and getting into bed while the rest of the world is getting up is one of the greatest pleasures known to humankind.

Yes it’s smug, yes it’s a very niche pleasure, but it ranks somewhere up there with sex, toothache relief, and stopping a microwave before it beeps in terms of satisfaction.

No I appreciate being checked. It’s always good to be given multiple views on things and I appreciate your view. Thank you.

I suspect you’re missing the wood for the trees there - are there any local vendors or farmers markets?

Yes, they are undeniably more expensive, but it is satisfying as fuck paying slightly over the going rate to poke some big company in the eye, even if it is barely felt at the individual level.

Very few people think everyone on your side of the pond is okay with your political shitshow.

It’s disheartening to see around a third of your voters being cunts, but then every country has their regressive arseholes, but it’s downright frustrating to see another chunk of your voting populace being okay enough with it to not bother voting against it.

So, by majority, the Americans are a clownshow. A small #NotAllVoters contingent doesn’t really change that - coupled with a modern history of American exceptionalism (and i say that with a straight face even with the British track record) then you can see why you’re getting dunked on.

Nah that’s cool, thanks for your view. I’m on board with what you’re saying.

I fucking hate launchers with a passion, almost as much as I hated when Steam came out with one of the Half Life patches.

Admittedly though, if there was going to be one current launcher to rule them all, Steam is the best bet.

Going against the grain here, but conceptually is that really such a good thing?

Yes, Steam is pretty decent and yes, Valve have consistently shown good business practice and a pro-consumer stance, and yes third party launchers are generally absolute donkey tonk… but isn’t converging onto one launcher like Steam very anti-consumer at its core?

It’s not great in the UK either mind, for fucks sake don’t copy us!

I suppose if that’s the approach, then you’re fucked from the outset. It’s not a case of if you’re going to get ousted from post, rather when.

Brilliant, thank you for the clarification. Eight years feels like a long time ago.

“Cheat” is a wide-ranging term which is a little too cumbersome to use here, but there were absolutely some shenanigans at play.

The heavily abridged version (which is open to criticism for doing so) is that the democratic leadership had effectively selected Hilary Clinton before the party had even had the chance to select the candidate officially, and Bernie’s campaign had it’s legs done before it even had a chance to take off.

Would Bernie have won? Who knows, but he’s consistently a decent and open candidate.

What are you basing these assumptions on, to be in a position to attribute responsibility at this stage?

It’s such a shame.

I get there’s a #NotAllVoters element as there is with any population, but when you have a majority of voters alongside a sizeable percentage of non-voters who don’t vote against it… well then you’ve got a country that has the president they deserve.

I think it’s brilliant that people publicise their political affiliations - it’s like a big red flag to either avoid certain topics… or just avoid them altogether.

It’s like Social Interaction for Dummies.
