Today's air smelled strangely like 1935 to me.

How screwed is the situation for both the Brits and other EU countries? I must admit I don't know much about the Brexit stuff and possible aftereffects, been worried too much about the exams to pay attention to it and I don't want to go through pages of cancer in the Round Table.

I must say though that the possibility of having Trump as US president, Boris Johnson leading the UK and Marine le Pen leading France by this time next year is terrifying.

I doubt much will change as an effect really. There was always going to be some skepticism and uncertainty with traders in regards to the pound, it'll go back to normal once the notoriously twitchy traders realise that the world hasn't ended. Very much doubt that it'll trigger a global depression as some people have said, this seems to be the main doomsday theory.

As long as big employers don't leave I doubt much will change for people like me. I'm not going to be vastly poorer or richer that's for sure. I don't believe that we're going to get psyducked on trade renegotiations.

For me leaving the EU is not a step forward but there are certainly some positives here. People high up in government now must realise that the gap between them and the voter (voter outside of London anyway) is too much. If going independent means the rest of the country isn't neglected then it willmake for a better Britain. In reality I think London going independent and staying in the EU is more likely, lol. We also have a lot of new voters now, despite getting it wrong this time the referendum has gotten a lot of people thinking about things they never have, this can't be a bad thing. Well, I hope not, it might mean that UKIP's rise continues.

Of course, there is the very real prospect that, depending on how the negotiation goes (or... doesn't go), new shocks can happen. There is also the matter of actually crowning BoJo, IndyRef2, Sinn Féin and their scary friends and the boringly simply yet deeply alarming possibility that GDP's maximum growth rate drops by a point and stays there forevermore and the traders simply leave the pound stuck on -10% for the coming future, triggering inflation with it (and a whole set of different problems, such as rate rises that will in turn cool down the economy even further).

In short: brace yourselves. Even the best outcome includes two very dangerous years in between.

I see that pesky four-word rule still applies.
It, uh, actually doesn't now. At least here in The Playground.

WTF HAPPENED
Double posting glitch is a thing in threads on PC with more than about... 1500 posts. The dev team will eventually fix it, but there are other priorities first.

Oh, I figured it was still in place because all the posts I'd seen on this page were long-ish. XD Cool~

And okay, I figured it was some kind of glitch because of the way the thread is titled but I was still confused. I guess I never thought it would happen to ME! ;-;

Been practicing my writing lately yet I'm not doing it regularly enoughto warrant its own thread for infrequent snippets and whatnot...or maybe I am

Spoiler:

"Come on."

"No."

"It's not nearly as bad as you think it is."

"Do I look like a human to you?"

"...Okay, fair enough, but you're roughly human-shaped and therefore eligible for wearing a suit."

"I don't have a problem with wearing suits. Just the tie."

"You're a psychic."

"And tying a tie is beyond me. I'm not ashamed to admit it."

"What about a bow tie? Clip-on?"

"Why not add a fez and call it a cosplay while you're at it?"

"Oh for..."

Sasha shook her head at the stubborn clone. "Looking nice for a date isn't going to kill you."

"It's not a date," Mewtwo replied stiffly.

"It's just the two of you having a nice quiet meal together and depending on how things go, maybe a different kind of dessert at the end of it all," Sasha replied innocently.

"You've been reading way too much fanfiction," Mewtwo snorted.

"You're the one who didn't clear their browser history," Sasha replied.

Mewtwo glared at her before sighing and looked at himself in the mirror.

"You don't have to wear the suit if you don't want to," Sasha said gently. "What matters most is that you're comfortable."

She ran a critical eye over his body and shrugged. "You were designed to be a fighting machine with the capacity to survive in any environment. Looks came second to that."

"Thank you, I've read my own file," Mewtwo replied dryly.

"Just making sure you know not to dwell on whether or not you're worthy of her attention. And if she does make advances, not to think too hard of what she's attracted to you for."

"My charming personality, I'm sure," Mewtwo snarked.

"Get going," Sasha chided him, making a shooing motion with her paws. "And if you bring her back here, try to keep it down, would you?"

Mewtwo telekinetically smacked the troublesome Eevee as he left the apartment. Sasha chuckled softly and gazed around the cozy four-room apartment before turning to the bookshelf and picking one at random to pass the time.


Too much free time yet at the same time not enough

I started liking football after watching a gorgeous Italy - germany in the 2006 world cup. Had this one been the game that day, I probably would be watching a move right now.

Also I think it's pretty obvious that whoever wins the Italy-Germany-Spain-France fight to the death is 90% likely to win the whole thing.

I was talking about the game I cared about today (two hours late because of the downtime) but I'm glad to see England is not losing to a 4-time world champion but to a supermarket.
