You're stylish. You ooze style. It's dripping off you.

Honest, having dealt with decades of bullshit like "fleek" it's nice to encounter a wave of slang that makes a little bit of sense.

One in each hand, swung forward to meet either side of your enemy's head. A simple gesture that sends a powerful message.

I agree with your point about education and communication, but I'd counter that plenty of informed/educated voters assuming an foregone result has caused some unpopular outcomes in the part; a voter who would be otherwise be disenfranchised enough to not bother might as well vote for what they want if they're going to be voting anyway. Having thought about this a bit in the past I'd like to see all of these changes made to the process:

  • As mentioned, mandatory voting with a fine for nonattendance calculated as a proportion of income.
  • Postal voting by default. Your polling cars is also postal voting card and can be returned up to four weeks before election day.
  • In addition to the right to leave the polling card blank or spoil it, specific options for formal protest options along the lines of "No vote due to inadequate candidates" and "No vote due to lack of faith in the electorate system."
  • Constituencies three or four times bigger than they are at the moment, since people are more travelled and communities are more spread than they were in the past, leading onto:
  • Single Transferrable Votes with the number of representatives returned calculated based on the population of the constituency; currently the biggest and smallest have populations of 113,000 and 21,000, but both have equal representation.

Not only is HMD Global not Chinese, they're actually the same Finnish company that people think of as "Nokia". Nokia do a lot more than just phones and they sold their mobile phone arm to Microsoft, who then spun it off as it's own company called HMD who licensed the Nokia name.

If you want to buy from a European brand, HMD/Nokia are worth considering.

I have no idea of the context or even if there is any, but this kind of utterly directionless chirping and unwarranted shittalking is the reason I love the Internet.

and love by yourself

I know that's a typo, but making it easier to bring home hookups was, like, 80% of the reason for me.

If it's a legal definition then that's the problem.

Anyone else remember iMUSE in the old LucasArts games? I adored the CMI soundtrack.
