Holy fuck
āHungary to detain all asylum seekers in container camps
PM calls migration āTrojan horse for terrorismā as parliament backs law to hold asylum applicants on southern border
Holy fuck
I donāt even know where to start with how I feel right now. About the best I can say is itās the usual with extra crap added.
Trump is still president and Bill Paxton died.
If itās any consolation, you reminded me how much I like Half Man Half Biscuit and brought a smile to my face.
I hate to see any team in that situation
I didnāt realize Barry Hearn had sold the club.
FEMA says theyāve redrawn the floodplain maps and that they are going to raise my (mandatory) flood insurance by 3% to 12% a year from now on. Iāve already paid them tens of thousands of dollars under the old ratesā¦ which money they used to rebuild the beach homes of people far wealthier than me after Hurricane Sandyā¦ but of course theyāre going to need more money since they didnāt relocate those rich people and their houses will be swept away again in the future, guaranteed.
My houseās foundation is from a late 18th or early 19th century water-powered mill; it was literally was built to have water flow through it without damaging the structure. The dams and races that brought water above the building have been gone since the 1940s, and no part of my house has flooded in living memory, even though we literally had the worst flood in a thousand years less than a decade ago, that wiped out six modern auto bridges and two steel bridges. Our little stream would have to rise twelve feet, at which point it would be literally a hundred times its normal width, before my house could be reached.
For $750 I can get a surveyor to make an Elevation Certificate for my house, and if that satisfies a determination process that is based on environments and buildings utterly unlike mine I can begin the process of map amendment, which will take 18 months or more and will almost certainly require āpersuadingā local political figures to intervene on my behalf.
Itās like Kafkaās The Trial. This is why people vote for the Tea Party.
As a denizen of the gulf coast, I sympathize with you. Thereās a reason a hundred years ago only fishing shacks were put up on our sand bars ābarrier islands.ā
Although in this neck of the woods, itās the fine inhabitants of those (publicly insured) multi-million dollar sandcastles voting TGOP.
Explaining for the sixth time to the three year old why granpapa wonāt be at his memorial service tomorrow.
I kicked my toe rather badly. Looks like the toe nail will have to be removed.
My government, the most powerful military force on the planet, has been infiltrated by Russians, apparently, and Reagan is rolling in his graveā¦
AND, my POTUS wants MOAR NUKES!
Fuck today squared.
It looks like Carlisle United will not be getting promoted this season unless they start winning matches again.
12 points in 12 games just isnāt good enough for anything other than finishing in the bottom two, never mind the team who are currently third.
Hey mate, the thread is āFuck Todayā, not āFuck Every Dayā.
I feel like this phrase has an entirely different meaning.
It all depends on inflection and emphasis.
I agree: A visible inflection is a big turn-off.
ā¦wait.
Hungary will build container camps for asylum seekers

When Germany opened the borders in 2015 it was not based on an ethical decision, everything was prepared for a massive police and military enforced shut down. Merkel in the end vetoed this because she wanted to avoid bad press.
As thousands of refugees walked to Germany in September 2015, Merkel's government was ready to close the border, a report has found. The plan was stopped at the last minute only because no one wanted the responsibility.
I donāt like the sound of these 'ere Boncentration Bamps.
Only posting here 'cos Iāve got nowhere else to do it.
My Tourettesā move around a bit. Sometimes itās physical (hooray for self-inflicted bruising), sometimes itās verbal (been increasing ly stuttery lately, whch is ever ao much fun for someone whoās based a lot of his identity around verbal fluency) [1].
Most recently, my right ankle has stopped working properly. My foot doesnāt lift when it should; if I try to walk barefoot, I just grind my toes into the ground. I canāt hike, I canāt run. I just put myself face-first into a wall.
This sucks.
[1] I just had to correct a dozen Touretteās-induced typos. Ths is why all of my posts are edited.
