my boss told me the result of the referendum 3 and a half hours ago and i haven't been able to smile since. literally the only positive is that we'll probably be getting northern ireland back..

 

Apparently, and this is according to a Tweet that the BBC posted, but it looks like Cameron is going to resign.

 

This is utterly fascinating can't tear my eyes away from all of this.

 

This referendum is depressing.

 

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck i think I have a leak in my tire. Any car stuff stresses me out

 

I just had the most stressful car day ever, meaning either I spend a few thousand dollars I need for my custody lawyer on it or I try to somehow get another one

 

I recently had a two-week storm(literally, it was pouring rain) of my power steering going out (which I somehow fixed) and my brakes cutting out (while driving)

 

Yikes, that's terrifying

 

I ended up being so miraculously lucky though. The power steering just made driving a pain (including turning around at one point in my two-way street that should be a one way street...that took me at least five minutes and had my arms in so much pain). Despite planning on quitting smoking, I didn't. So I went to my usual gas station to get cigarettes. I was also hungry. I decided to pick out a Slim Jim, indecisive on what flavor. Immediately upon going up to the counter, their entire system went down, so I had to find another gas station. Because of this, I ended up on a side road when my brakes went out as opposed to being on the highway.

One of those crazy things...

 

this thing jumped up on me. what ideology drove this? what do supporters/non supporters think/hope will happen with it long term?

 

This explains both sides really well if you have the time.

 

we won't. we can't afford them, they have a 10b deficit that is reliant on EU funding along with funding from us and the uk. we can't afford to take em in.

 

ignorance, vapid nationalism and patriotism. the leave campaign was built on lies and ignoring facts.

Cameron is gone. Corbyn is gone. two leaders of the biggest parties in the UK gone off the back of a public vote.

 

This all makes me think of the constant petitions for Texas secession

 

There are a lot of similarities. Big differences in impact but a lot of similarities in the methodology and the general ignorant reasons behind it all.

 

Realistically it would suck but part of me is still like "fuck y'all I'm from Texas"

but no that can never ever happen

 

Alabama has the easiest constitutional set-up on the State level. Idk. I feel like we should go ahead and let them leave and see what happens. Who would miss it?

Bonus is my dad wouldn't have to move there for work, too.

 

If it happened it would be my absolute hell because I'd want to leave but my family would still probably be here and I'd have to stay and be in a complete disaster.

 

The whole idea behind Texas wanting to leave was people saying we were "self sustainable" (and we very likely arent) so I doubt that would be a consideration for Alabama haha

 

I'm not even going to pretend like I know what the deal is with this EU stuff. I have 0 clue what it all means.

...so we can't just kick Alabama out and see what happens?

 

Not even for fun?
