Dan trolling people about the EU thing isn't that fun.

That was a double dip as well after his first tweet already got a bad reaction.
This is the majority yo. Feel like schoolhouse rock needs to make a comeback.

Eh, danny will let him know. Seems like Danny is pretty upset about the brexit.

It may have some pretty serious consequences for Ireland and Northern Ireland.
A villan is born.
Never heard the term before today either. But I understand your distaste of people acting dumb for the fun of it.

New Dan?
If he took offense to any of my tone, that was my fault. The internet is bad at conveying tone and obviously I need to think better of that. I sent him a quick apology here anyway.
I assume he's getting a lot of shit for it, so I don't blame him for being quick on the trigger.

I mean he kinda deserves it.
He's been talking about avoiding twitter to avoid the noise but I found that funny because he likes to provide it himself.
Though I can't say I'm personally better myself with the whole brexit thing seeing that my current concern with it is if it will fall any lower so I can get some deals on things I've been eyeing. >_> <_<

I honestly meant that as a 'hey, here's a way you can ask questions on these issues in a way that won't get you a bunch of shit'. I didn't mean that in any sort of sarcastic, hostile or even annoyed way. It's why I was so shocked that he blocked me.
I honestly do feel bad if he took any offense at all as I didn't intend it as such. It's why I was so quick to apologize.
EU/UK/Soon-to-be-former-UK peeps pretty sensitive about this utter destruction of the economy/jobs/everything/rise of the right. I said something pretty basic and ended with "Interesting times for Europe" and some UK girl i know told me to take it seriously and not to treat it like a game of soccer.
I'm glad she can't see the rest of my feed which has a bunch of aussies darkly joking about taking british vacations, the EU invading the UK, declaring their own republican movements and the like...

Eh, I wouldn't tie the australian republican movement on the same level as an EU exit.
More a joke on the lines of "England wants to be independent, we should be too!"
Seems more like a self protection reaction because he feels clueless.
I totally understand why he'd do it, but the fact he felt the need to means I didn't read the situation correctly. Hence, why I still felt the need to apologize.

Yeah it'd be silly to make comparisons really, though I'm kinda for one and still unsure about the other.
This year has been interesting geopolitically to say the least.

Tensions are high man. This is a disaster for a lot of people.
Turnout was over 70%, people were engaged and invested in this on many levels.
The news isnt even 3 hours old and our prime minister is about to resign and our economy has just dropped like a stone overnight.
Obviously most people are well meaning but this one is tough to have a clear head on.

Huh, I didn't know cameron was going to resign over this.
Yeah I get it, I had a knee-jerk reaction to post some dumbshit response like 'right i better never see you talk shit about foreign politics again' but smothered the instinct and just said something like 'right, nevermind me then...'
really glad i usually take the time to reread my posts at least once before I post them...

Expected in the next half an hour. He staked short term political gain against the future of the country.
He has gotta go which is scary enough given some of the Tory nutjobs waiting in the wings.

Wait, boris johnson has a serious chance to replace him?
Wow, what a shitshow all around.

You do know that Dan probably saw it but it's hard to respond when tons of other people contact him as well and it's also possible that he has nothing to add to the matter. At the same time, it doesn't mean he didn't appreciate you reaching out to him. Same goes for the others as well.
I mean if you put yourself in any of the duders place, you can't respond to everyone reaching out, it ain't possible.

For people more in the know though. Is he the best or worst alternative right now? Because as an outsider he seems like a buffoon, but a well constructed one. Which is even more sinister.
Who, Boris? He is extremely bad news. He appears to be a buffoon but he is a shark.

That MN9 QL ends the only way it can. Poorly.
Good work, Drew.
Good work, Drew.
The only thing you might even cling to at this point is the hope this may lead to a closer NI/Republic relationship in the future, but it's incredibly sad to see. I feel horribly for everyone involved. To see your nation tore even further apart by dumbasses.

I'll take it as that. Thanks.

Well this is some great news to wake up to...
literally nothing good has come from this
Is this the new hire?
I wish Austin would stay but he can make a real and lasting mark on the world of videogames at the wheel of his own ship.
