I learned early on as a child that you might as well participate in the fucking around because you're just gonna get lumped in with the rest of them when the finding out happens.

Unfortunately the world often does the fucking around part for you, and you're stuck finding out with them. Sincerely a Remainer being forced to find out on Brexit.
Boy, what a reversal we have now. Around when Brexit finally happened, the US kicked Trump out of office. It felt like we were going in the right direction and the UK wasn't. Now the UK has put Labour back in power while we're going all-in on fascism. Fuck. We should have just stuck with the monarchy.
Instructions unclear, now the US is installing a new monarchy
No, not like that!
Don't worry - I'm sure in a few years time when our next election comes up, our population will have forgotten about the previous decade of getting fucked by the Tories, and immediately put them, Reform-UK, or some other alt-right party into power for round 2 just like you guys
Probably. The apple doesn't seem to have fallen far from the tree.
I feel like I didn't fuck around enough to help...
Your collective choice as a country is to currently fuck around for four years. You are committed to that. It's not like there's an option like insurrection or
If Nato fails and Russia attacks, I'm not going to fight. All those xenophobic extremists nationalists in my country that fell for the Russian propaganda can clean up their own mess they caused.
If Nato fails and Russia attacks
That already happened back in 2022 (arguably all the way back to '08). NATO didn't do shit because it's just the US military wearing a dozen different European baseball caps. And after the US finished scrubbing out of both Iraq and Afghanistan, it didn't have the logistics to launch another Asiatic land war (while keeping China at gunpoint in the Pacific and Iran in check in the Middle East).
American slippage is already apparent across Latin America, Africa, and the South Pacific. Things are only going to get worse for DC going forward.
You would have to be suicidal to stick your neck into that mess, at this stage of the game.
Finding out is universal, fucking around is optional.
My only British friend is apolitical (and a bit of a dumbass, if I'm being honest). What's brexit like for your average Brit? I can't imagine having the right to just move (almost) anywhere in Europe and getting that ripped away from me, but I'll admit, I don't really know any of the other repercussions of leaving the EU.
It totally ruined a lot of people's lives. They had plans to go work somewhere in Europe maybe even live there. Now they can't do that.
The whole point of the European Union was it was supposed to be a bit like the United States without having to actually form a single nation. All of the countries would effectively act like States in one nation - they even setup Interpol to act like state troopers. Imagine if you suddenly couldn't move between states. Utterly stupid outcome, and 100% predicted.
Just like any government the EU council did do some brain dead things, but that wasn't a good reason to leave.
Imagine if you suddenly couldn't move between states.
This has already become reality for all the women I know that are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.

As an American, please don’t give anyone ideas. I really don’t want to need refugee status to go out west.
Fellow American, given the cost of living, I feel like I'd need refugee status to get out of the ~~methbelt~~ red states
I can’t imagine giving that up. As an American I once wanted us to join the shengen as one of my long term political pipe dreams.

You don't have to be the one fucking around as long as there are others fucking around you.

Also there's no opting out if you didn't fucking vote. You can't be complicit in opting out.
With the electoral college and FPTP, even opting in is of dubious benefit.
You should still do it obviously, but it is a rigged system.
Ha ha
Too bad
It's been chosen to fuck around and find out on behalf of our entire society
The innocent, the guilty, doesn't matter. We're all going to find out.
I hope everyone involved in bringing this down on us is happy with themselves. I'm sure most of them will be fine, of course.

Me too thanks
Sometimes we all just have to find out, if there's to be any chance of getting them to stop fucking around. 😐
