septic tank indeed

I was going to use "humourless tankie miserablist" the other week, but its too much truth for me to handle!

I am septical about the EU but I've never been that into tanks tbh, except Panzer General is a quality game and doesn't have any of that awful political correctness gone mad like what pom worries about sometimes

I feel politically homeless. I want about 90% of the UK political classes to be liquidated. But all I could find in the last Labour manifesto was boring stuff about bringing PFI's back in house, re-nationalising utilities and public transport, not being such dicks to the poor and disabled etc...

calzino, Sunday, 9 September 2018 15:28 (five years ago) link

having a bunch of parallel US politics threads would be a drag - same articles getting posted/discussed in multiple places. the dem party direction one is distinct enough, because they're not in govt and don't drive most of the main politics news etc.

Yeah, I agree. I think the solution is for trump to not be president. He dominates us politics, therefore he dominates the us politics thread. This’ll work itself out.

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:16 (five years ago) link

So how do we actually get a politics board? I don't know the decision process for new boards. Do we need to do a new poll?

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:27 (five years ago) link

Amendment required. Needs ratification from 2/3rds of thread posters plus gabbnebb

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:29 (five years ago) link

Is there a real answer to this? The thread revive has convinced me it is a good idea.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:38 (five years ago) link

not since the 69th amendment passed which states, and i quote: "Congress fhall make no Lawe in contradiction to the Notion of 'Fuck Gabbneb'" which the ilx board lawyers have interpreted to mean that we don't need his approval bc fuck gabbneb.

xp the "real answer" is in the poll numbers above

sleeve, Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:42 (five years ago) link

So there needs to be a new poll?

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:43 (five years ago) link

sigh

sleeve, Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:44 (five years ago) link

Sigh, all you want, I'm doing it

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:46 (five years ago) link

this is gonna rule

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 10 September 2018 16:02 (five years ago) link

New poll is here btw:

I Love Politics board redux - this time with feeling!

Surprisingly large amount of people turning up on the new thread to vote no. This may be a much less popular idea than I thought.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:08 (five years ago) link

you keep complaining that ppl voted no

seems a strange thing to keep doing idk

NAGL usa (darraghmac), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:24 (five years ago) link

i mean you put no as an option

NAGL usa (darraghmac), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:25 (five years ago) link

I don't read it as complaining so much as an enduring surprise.

A is for (Aimless), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:33 (five years ago) link

yeah, I'm not complaining, just surprised. Honestly don't have a big stake in the result, but I started the poll because it seemed like there were a bunch of people wanting a forum, but no one taking the steps to make it happen.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:41 (five years ago) link

and there's a load of people votimg no, right

NAGL usa (darraghmac), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:41 (five years ago) link

as far as I can tell, may just be that no is more vocal

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:45 (five years ago) link

this is ilx’s brexit

ironically, the current US politics thread is seeing less activity so far than any US politics thread since 2015.

A is for (Aimless), Monday, 10 September 2018 17:47 (five years ago) link

And isnt it ironic

F# A# (∞), Monday, 10 September 2018 17:59 (five years ago) link

I've googled the lyrics to the song and I'm looking for the perfect line to copy and paste next.
Do I go with the next one in the song?
Or do I jam an ILX inside joke into another line that doesn't follow, thereby excusing its out of place appearance?
