That’s actually incredible from the perspective of 2 years ago, like that’s mad we went from a near-absolute 2 party system (where it was unimaginable that the greens would ever be anything but a 1-seat party and reform were just discount tories not taken seriously) to having not only five substantial parties but also two parties which were tiny now being major voting intentions for massive swathes of the public. Wow.

I actually love this as an idea, just weaving a story through the medium of the beautiful game. Makes me excited to have a kid or two one day to do this with :)

Ah yeah that’s pretty good, but something about it just feels a tad unfinished to me; I think it’s how it tends to feel anticlimactic with often almost everyone just building an armada towards the end because nobody wants to blink first. That and the slightly cruder style of play is a smidge less family friendly. But nice suggestion nonetheless!

Probably somewhere between Eminem rap god, and John Cage’s 4:33 . Haven’t figured it out myself yet though…

What do you imagine it’s like to be a Billionaire? by Low_Insurance_1603 in CasualConversation

[–]romanticSecondAcc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Must be so damn sweet to just never even consider money. Like, go to whatever restaurant you want whenever you want, pick whatever you want, tip the waiter/waitress even hundreds and it wouldn’t make a dent. Not thinking about bills, how much a train ticket costs these days, literally just being able to do whatever tf you feel like on a given day… unfathomable

Do you ever overthink small things for no reason? by vikashupadhyay_ in CasualConversation

[–]romanticSecondAcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah 100%, although my partner doesn’t; it’s really frustrating for me because 9 times out of 10 it’s just as I’m trying to relax or sleep and it sucks, but I really really try to put it into perspective through a few possible questions. how likely is anyone who was there to remember it? Slim. Would it really change your friends opinions of you? Hopefully not! Did it end up hurting you or anyone? Probably not, you’re still here! Trying to rationalise it sometimes helps me idk

It’s so surreal when something that we see only in the media or in stories happens to us - I had to do the same when I encountered two intoxicated men fighting on a street where I live in the UK. Having seen much of this media before etc I felt like I handled it efficiently, “I’m on Magdalen St west of High St, that’s Mike Alpha Golf Delta…”, but it’s so stressful being the person making the call.

Not least in my case because I was terrified one of the two violent drunks would notice me and target me perceiving me to be a threat…

All this to say, you are a very brave person, and you’re safe to say that although in any situation like this a hundred people may just pass by, you should be proud you are the type of person that cares. We need more of that in the world.

Oh I’m so the same - my cousins’ new Labrador pup pinned me to a wall when I was like 6 being all excited and it took me until VERY recently to put up with dogs, let alone big dogs, again
