I’ve seen them do it.

I’m sorry it looks like I misunderstood your comment.

Over here people put flags upside down on purpose, so that was my frame of reference.

The funny thing is that the Union Jack is not quite symmetrical. You can hang it upside down, but it takes a very trained eye to see it’s upside down.

That’s part of why ships fly a solid red flag with a Union Jack quarter, so it’s readily apparent when they are in distress.

You count the votes in public in front of representatives of all parties?

We’ve been doing this shit for literal millennia, sometimes side by side with people you were fighting just a few weeks before. It’s not fucking rocket science. My country will happily send observers and instructors if you need help figuring this democracy shit out. So will pretty much any other country in the UN.

You guys need to get this shit sorted, pronto.

Youth parliament, model UN, all those places, they have always been great places to meet smart girls. Just wish teenage me had just a little more game.

They are not hypocrites if they don’t believe in any of the stuff in the first place. Which they don’t. None of them do.

They are not hypocrites, they are fascists. Fascism prioritizes power over rationality or rules based order.

They flaunt the fact that they don’t care about the rules because it’s a way to show they have power that others lack. It’s a domination thing.

It’s not pedantic to insist that your democracy is predicated upon a simple and easy to audit mechanism. In fact, it’s essential.

It’s how many advanced democracies do it. Electronic voting is just the illusion of modernity.

You could just vote with paper and actually count. You don’t have to use machines owned by lobbying multibillionaires.

For fascists hypocrisy is a virtue. It’s a display of dominance. Rules are for sheep, not for lions.

Every time you point out the hypocrisy of fascists, you are doing their marketing for them. Stop doing that.

Everyone grieves differently. It’s a very personal emotion.

She can totally go fuck herself for a multitude of reasons, but frankly this reeks of rank misogyny.

Italian coffee snob here. Even Starbucks coffee isn’t bad. They have a lot of stuff on the menu that frankly leaves me with more questions than answers, but you don’t have to order that. The filter coffee is way, way better than the average.

While I would recommend both learning about other countries as a general principle, and sending me a GIF of a cat, I’m finding it hard to come down on American coffee while living on a continent than thinks French coffee or German coffee is perfectly fine.

There is no greater “pull up the ladder behind you” energy than a New York Italian running on an anti immigration platform.

Fuck you, Andrew Cuomo.

Or to complain about DPS Warrior itemization in the World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King.

This pairs well with my draft article “Penetration fascination slows wireless charging adoption”

And it wasn’t even his own heart.

But only literally. And preferably without any misogyny showing.

Tell me about how women are supposed to grieve.

If we take these two disgusting horrible people out of all this then skin tight leather trousers would still be inappropriate for a widow to wear at her husband’s funeral. It doesn’t matter who it is wearing the trousers.

Who made you the fucking clothing police?

I don’t really think the notion that the workers are also the customers has really sank in.
