I keep tabs open on like news websites or B12.

I always close 'em if I'm done using the computer though.

Then usually open them on my phone...

Puigdemont has declared that he and his ministers are now a government in exile. He demands that the upcoming elections be turned into an official referendum on Catalonian independence, although he has promised to accept the outcome if it is in favour of Spain.

Puigdemont still hasn't gotten it into his head that 1. elections don't work that way and that 2. the constitution still needs to be changed which requires political support outside of Catalonia, either from parties or voters, which likely has been blown due to pulling the independence trigger too early.
Support he knows he won't get because people outside of Catalonia probably don't really care, or if they do, it's to keep it as part of Spain.

Forcing the issue - non-violently, I might add - was pretty much the only option. There's been a lot of news regarding Catalonia independence movement internationally as a result of this anyway; whether or not this was his intention? It does what you say he should be doing.

Well... he could plead the Fifth for the entire interview, presumably.

You are a masochist. Do it.

@cathar: It's a Dutch name.... I'm sure French has names that sound silly to others.

Anyhow, bbc article http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41819940 He's said that he'd accept the results of the snap election, but wonders if the government would abide by the results since chances are high that it'll end up with a similar composition. The Spanish government apparently said that he could take part in the fresh polls, I think. Also, he said that he'll return to Spain if the government gives him some guarantees.

Rajoy said Puigdemont can take part so long as he isn't in prison, which probably meant he'll be in prison.

(Er...)

Request a sidearm/pistol from... whomever. Quartermaster?

Also buy 20 meters of duct tape.

Ivan nods when someone mentions going to her home, shakes his head when someone else mentions going to the school. Mutters something about limiting collateral damage to himself.

Ivan pulls out his phone and shakes it at Jeb and Jay

Team 1 could also communicate success or failure with this, so we do not have to fight each other unnecesarily.

* hector13 glances at anime thread

Ivan perks up at the mention of the girl. He speaks to no one in particular in heavily accented English

They will not have told us everything they know. It does not take this many people to capture a single nińa,

He shrugs before continuing.

Expect the worst. They say the village is all civilians, that is not to say they are not harmless. If the girl has parents, a family, compas, they won’t let her go without a fight.

No, I don't think you're joking. It's a ludicrous idea to be sure, but a very common one throughout history when people have let themselves conflate contempt with intellectualism.
Who said anything about intellectualism?
I agree, it sounded more like it was about gleeful murder.
Nah, hopeful xenophobia. Unwashed is undefined, but one can assume they likely didn’t include themselves in what they meant.

8202
Ivan glances at Jay, then at Myrtle, before returning to looking at nothing in particular, shaking his head slightly.
