Unpopular opinion: Erdogan's/AKP's removal from power would have a greater positive impact for the region than the removal of ISIS.
In the past, this would have been enough to set off a war.
...and this is exactly why the Brits moved away from absolute monarchies.
Why do I have fucking Song for fucking Someone stuck in my head? This is certain proof there is no god.
I would gladly throw Ballarat in with that lot! Love that town.
Is that, right down to the bone, why the monarchy has survived? Tourism? A quaint old world otherness? Because we've grown into a false sense that things are how they should be, that there's no desperation for change? That we can't imagine disposing of royals in any way that doesn't involve decapitation?
England itself is full of lies and folly, from its national symbol (oh yeah man you're always running into lions while walking Hadrians wall), to its classical national mascot, its all just imported, trying to reconcile with the fact that it's just this sad, cold lump of dirt that endured so many invasions that invading is all it ever learned to do. I mean, that's a midnight ramble version of history, but whatever. For the record, I really loved the UK heaps, I just have trouble reconciling things.
Yeah Cobbler, I get the attitude you describe.
There was a cynical fuckwit rant here, only loosely connected to anything anyone said and more inspired by the mediocrity I see around me on a daily basis, but it's perhaps best not published. I'd say I divulge shit I won't post over a few pints, but actually when I'm out drinking I tend to be at my least cynical and most upbeat.
I can't wait to make Neon Indian/drinking epicness happen next month. Liam and Vlad I expect you both to be there.
I've liked our ongoing Fb messages of support to each other as well, Liam. Hoping work works up for you, and you too, Ax.
I just had my first ever provide-support-to-your-GF moment, it was really super nice. yknow, some dudes are like "women are shit", but I actually don't give that much of a fuck about myself. I can internalise that shit, I'm the fucking world champion of internalising. but I get genuine happiness when I can make girls that I like feel good. last night she came for the first time in like three years and I was reminded of mates being like "I get to cum who gives a fuck if she doesn't" and it's like for me making her cum gives me 100000x the satisfaction of me cumming, and not because it's like "yeahhhh i'ma sick cunt" but because I'm happy she's happy. And then tonight, she had some shit going down, and we talking on the phone and texting etc and she says I made her feel better and that feels just so fucking nice and yeah I like having a GF.
don't want to bring down others, but this is all new to me and I just have to talk about it sometimes (ie a few scotchies deep). also probably definitely shouldn't post that explicit stuff but oh well this is a small crowd and i mean what i said.
I don't know, that sounds too hyperbolic to me. Your reasoning?
Turkish state's intent on impeding YPG/YPJ efforts to defeat ISIS (which they have been very good at doing to date), and the passage that links Turkey to ISIS in which supplies and fighters pass through - I'm fairly sure I remember reading that Turkey threatened Rojava if they dared to advance further onto that passage. That's the short gist of it.
Why not just throw them, out a window?
We'll forgive you some day.
The societal structure that expects us to work eight hours a day, five days a week is fucking bullshit. I went to work at 8:30, sat around bored until I got my first piece of work at 3:30. I literally wasted seven hours of my life, and made money for it.
