I've heard a surprising lot of this and I can't understand the logic. And yes, with such a small margin it'd be good to have a revote, I'd guess the voter turnout would be much greater (and they'd be forced to not fuck over UK:ers outside the UK). I just hope this at the very least shines some light on the dangers of voter apathy. Quote
Mooseman9 Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 I don't get everyone talking about the pound tanking. It's not like the market has ever reacted to a big change in politics before, right? Also if they have a revote I expect that there will be riots in the streets. The point of the referendum was to have the people's say and the majority of people said they'd rather leave the EU. If people cared enough they would've voted the first time. Quote
theprolo Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 The best thing about the re-vote petition is that it was apparently started by a pro-leave campaigner before the referendum who thought we would stay. Whether that's actually true or not I don't know, but it's a great story nonetheless TheBytemaster 1 Quote

A lot of people are thoroughly convinced The Establishment controls voting results and The Establishment would never let the UK leave the EU, since they also control the EU. So whether they wanted to leave or not they voted to leave just to annoy The Establishment out of protest. You see a lot of these conspiracy nuts state side. Just look for someone who claims the republican and democrat parties are identical. On 6/26/2016 at 2:35 PM, Mooseman9 said: I don't get everyone talking about the pound tanking.

Uncharted territory here, the hits to the financial markets could be longer lived than most would like. Quote

I believe I read somewhere that the bank of England has set up an emergency fund to prop up the Pound Sterling and prevent it from free-falling. I think it's equal to about 20 years of membership of the EU. Yeah. EDIT: 250 BILLION Pound Sterling. Whoops. Edited June 30, 2016 by Melfice Quote
Neowulf Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Yeah, I'm not an economist but I question the efficacy of having a big pile of currency to dump on the market in case the market decides they don't want your currency anymore... TheBytemaster, Kocken926 and Melfice 3 Quote

Well sure, but why limit it to when you're going to sleep? You might be dying every nanosecond for all you know.

That doesn't matter, because the universe is destroyed and recreated every instant. Your "death" wouldn't even register in time for it matter. You'd die outside of existence, therefore you wouldn't even realize it and continue on as you'd get recreated just before your death. Quote

Melfice Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) No, that's alright, Niantic. You just released an AR game with the Pokémon name attached. Of course you won't need proper servers. What is it with companies releasing massively anticipated, popular games with an online component and completely, utterly underestimating server requirements. Back to Pokémon GO, HOLY SHIT up to $100 in microtransactions!? YOU CAN BUY THREE FULL COCKING POKÉMON GAMES FOR THAT! "Oh, but they're optional, you can pl-" SHUT UP TWAT! There's wait timers. And with $100 at stake, I'm not waiting 24 cocking hours just so I could catch another Pokémon! Holy shit! Why is this popular!? Why is nobody banning this shit!?

Neowulf Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Speaking of pokemon go, my old neighborhood (as defined by the rocky mountain standard "within a one hour drive") is in the news due to a 19 year old playing it found a dead body. Mooseman9, TheBytemaster and _Mataroyale_Modpacker_ 3 Quote
