For a minute I thought that’s my own cat. Autumn looks very comfy.

Why doesn't the United Kingdom rejoin the European Union?

Admittedly, I don’t know much about Brexit, but from what I have been exposed to, it seems like a decisively economical and political impairment that made travel and business with the rest of Europe more difficult and costly. Since it is so highly criticized as a terrible move, why doesn’t the UK just rejoin the EU?

Also your mates and family don’t really get how your marriage worked and didn’t like your ex’s politics for confused reasons.

I got the impression the modern British are an extreme manifestation of “truth hurts”.

Making the same concessions and signal to every other country that you can just hop in and out on a whim? Uhhh I have a bridge to sell you if you really believe that.

It seems the British (IMO the English in particular) need to eat humble pie and the way to make them is sadly economic ruin.

It’s no good letting in somebody who is that flaky and loud and proud about it.

Same for France and Italy. Nobody is making loud noises about leaving the EU anymore.

I really would like to see reactions from France if Britain makes moves to rejoin.

What a compelling argument.

Pandoras_Can_Opener,
@Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyz avatar

Yup. And the rerendum wasn’t even legally binding.

The thing is your electorate let itself be manipulated like that and as you said the perpetrators are still very much at large. It follows they will manipulate the electorate again and there’s no reason to believe the same demographic won’t easily fall for new lies. (Unless they died off.)

This sucks for the Brits who knew better but it also means the EU would let an unreliable partner back in if nothing changed. It seems the pro Brexit crowd will need to learn the hard way that no really you were lied to and you still have to bear the consequences of your own actions (vote).

Being lied to isn’t an excuse to accept racist fearmongering and plainly suicidal economic reasoning. Nor is it an excuse for the project fear slander that happened at the time. They were lied to and were also told the truth. And you who voted to stay also need to learn that your vote doesn’t abdicate Britain either. You’re in this together.

And by then everyone else probably uses a different type of train magnetic super speed something and the Germans will still not have entirely figured out how electric power and rail work together.

I’m autistic, non binary, have ex family members that kind of home cooked their own cult, I’m an atheist now. there’s plenty of emotional abuse in the ex family. Went to a Christian private school (different denomination than the cult), I’m intellectually gifted and chronically ill. There’s some ADHD ex family members thrown in, I’ve spent some time I an African country and my current bestie is my cat. Currently using all my skills from studying a life science to improve my chronic illness situation.

I think there’s some demographics that might be interested. Still not sure whether to actually write it.

That’s a nice thought. Thank you!

I have had several experiences with therapists ranging from atrocious and potentially life threatening to merely unhelpful. I know therapy can be an important and very helpful tool tho. I’d be most interested in your perspective in how therapists can abuse their position of power but also be a force of good.

A review: some major gaps, wish they had explored the bit with the school and webcomic more, interesting effort overall. 3 out of 5 stars

There’s a nice saying in the community of people who heal from childhood abuse: don’t set yourself on fire to keep others warm. I always found it to be a powerful and succinct way of describing toxic people pleasing.

In Germany plastic straws are forbidden these days. There’s straws made of metal or wood still. Can’t comment on the larger question tho. I’ve never used straws to begin with.

Chronically ill person checking in to mention people with my autoimmune disorder died a slow painful death in the past or ate pig thyroid. And people with endometriosis just spent their days in intense agony (some/many still do because current medical treatment doesn’t work for them).

Pandoras_Can_Opener,

Huh, neat. I’ve heard of pasta straws in private use but an Italian restaurant, that’s cool. Yeah wooden and metal straws get cleaned. Tho wooden straws would eventually be burned I assume. And metal maybe remelted?

Pandoras_Can_Opener,

Now I hope the people affected by this hoard straws. We live in a weird world.

I had a FP2 that lasted maybe twice as long as an unfair phone. Played a game on it that seemed to be too much for the processor/RAM. I bought a FP3 just after the new camera for it came out. It’s starting to show similsr signs of processor/RAM issues. Thing is I haven’t used the FP3 nearly as much and all my gaming is on tablets now. I’m unsure if I can justify buying another heavily expensive phone like this. Maybe a used one for me instead?

I do love the repairability tho and how it tries to be Eco and socio friendly. Installing lineageOS was super easy and I love not having google know my every move (I get adverts in Greek and … Russian? Now as well as stuff for Muslims, I think they really don’t track me well anymore.) It’s probably also the only smart phone customer service who understands and was helpful when I wanted to know how to responsibly deal with a broken cover for the FP2.

Same. I have endless issues with his politics but that’s what I want to focus on. Abelism isn’t alright just because you don’t like the person with health issues.
