This is so, so stupid.

It took Mrs. May about 18 months to come up with something nobody agrees with. If she loses, they have to either all agree on one person to scrap what they have and get something better before January 21st - I think that’s when the EU want something so they can vote on it - or... no deal? New referendum? or go through six weeks of a leadership contest, which takes us to January 23rd, in which case... no deal? New referendum?

What would these guys even campaign on in a leadership contest?

... any more than American "cheese" being cheese

Try saying that in Wisconsin, see how far you get :P

That looks like a pre-holy fury map. I’m reasonably sure it’s been around for a while.

I choose to interpret this is as evidence that the only reason May is still PM is that she's packing some serious heat.
She's still there because she's the Austria-Hungary of government. Everyone wants her gone, but no one has made a move to replace her, because no one can agree on who to replace her with.
It also has a lot to do with the people who engineer her removal likely being accused of putting their personal ambitions ahead of the country’s interest.

What is this particular variety of vegan cheese made from?

I will +1 that, especially the latter. If you don't expect they'll pay your internet or whatever when they say they will, most assuredly do not expect them to help pay for a mortgage.

Don't put your credit rating in someone else's hands, man.

Vote’s been cancelled.

Also, European Court of Justice agrees with the dude from last week, UK can unilaterally cancel Brexit.

Labour planning to table no confidence vote instead.

Now that they've practically been given an open barn door for a way out, I think they'd be fools not to take the opportunity. But that's just my opinion as I know it differs from some.

Heading blindly into a situation we have no idea how it will pan out, with no arrangements agreed, with a leader noone trusts or has any faith in.  We are totally and utterly fucked.

And they've just been given a way to totally and utterly unfuck themselves

The issue is much more complex than that. Two major sticking points are that there was already a referendum (non-binding however much it was) that voted one way, and despite the SNP not harping on about independence and working toward figuring out alternatives to it, if they redo the Brexit one, they’re going to demand a redo of the independence one.

I’ve had a pretty peaceful empire with reformed African warmongering bloodthirsty and... whatever the thing is that sets the reformer as head of the religion. Can’t remember what the other one I chose was. Dogmatic?

Something is up with my internet service bill. My account statement is saying I owe the normal amount by the normal due date, but when I got to the page for paying it, it says I owe nothing. It's already past the date my bill is usually posted, and I got the paper bill in the mail that same day.

Last time that happened to me - admittedly with a medical fee and forgetfulness after a lost card - I had been taken to collections.

Amusing, since I assume they had either sold the debt for pennies on the dollar, or otherwise had to pay the collection agency a fee, and the debt collector was more than happy to take my money.

Anyway, you should probably get in touch with them, see what the issue is, just in case the problem is on their end.

The Green Bay Packers interim head coach starts his tenure with two failed challenges. In the first 83 seconds of a 60 minute game.

You only get two challenges per game, and also get penalized a timeout (of which you get three per half) per failed challenge.

Guess he won’t be in contention for the permanent head coaching job.

In saying that, the first challenge should have been successful, and the second wouldn’t have happened had the first one succeeded. Even so, silliness.

In non-only related news, I'm experiencing emotions I have no words for.

Is it l-only-ness?

No, here is a link to the most recently banned user.

n-nani!?!

To be fair I deserved it :(

I just read his thread, and if you are sitting your armchair with your pipe, reading the news of the riots over the top of your glasses I can’t construct better images of bourgeoisie when I was meant to be asleep hours ago instead of outside protesting the price of a tank of diesel with your other cheese-eating surrender monkeys sorry I like that turn of phrase it’s really stupid then... uh... I can’t remember what the point was now.

Wow he was a dummy, I’m glad he’s gone.

I miss OW.

Why is that a sad? No offense to the guy, but the boards are better with his loss, I feel. He was rather narrow-minded and arrogant.
