UK General Election 8th June: Shake it all about?

[altered]

Honestly, my schadenfreude with regards to Prime Minister Boris is a full two thirds of why I am taking no recovery time after today's miserable let down.

Nothing gets me going like a reminder that the world is on fire and that in the worst case, I only have to put up with this shit for a few more months before the accelerant doused explosives we have stashed in the backseat catch flame and everyone dies horribly. Good motivator there.

[Cain]

Boris is PM.

Get them in while you can.

You have other countries you can run away to, right?

Only Australia, which is barely an improvement.

[Doktor Howl]

I wouldn't even say that.  The liberals - whom I gather are the Trump wing of their politics - are more or less running the show. 

If you can't get into New Zealand, have a look at Canada.

A joint that fires you for piercings was never going to go well.  Or even tolerably.

Yeah, when John Howard is looking good, you know the Liberals are a shitshow.

New Zealand is actually an option, as an Australian I can freely live and work there without a visa. Canada I would need a work visa I believe, though Commonwealth citizens usually have a slightly easier time in other Commonwealth countries.

That's the other third. But mere recognition that I dodged a bullet isn't motivation, it's a sign that I need to chill out.

The impending doom of everything? That's some motivation. If I get lucky, I can be one of the people making little model towns out of the smoldering embers of civilization after the end, and isn't that all anyone really wants?

[The Wizard Joseph]

How I see nullified in the post-apocalyptic future we all deserve.

Excuse you, I'd be dressed much more sensibly than that. That shade of yellow is unfit for survival purposes — you'd look like a canary in a subway station — and I don't know where to begin with the sun exposure, you'd be half baked in an hour in our future wasteland. The Middle East is the height of sensible fashion in the coming decades, my friends.

That mask is a tragedy, I'd go with one of the classics: the Israeli or the Swede. I want full NBC protection and I want it for less money than a used car.

And finally, those guns are both absurdly expensive and hopelessly outclassed, when I can just go all Metro 2033 and gain the sweet benefits of interchangeable parts, rapid assembly, and costing less than a nice tarp.

Really, you just have me all wrong, Mister Wizard. I paid more attention than to believe the cybergoth look will stick. That's just my casual wear while we still have clouds.

I stand corrected. How dare I post a fantasy image while we're talking about a real post apocalyptic scenario! I now Envision you as a very tall jawa with a gas mask and a sensible firearm. I'd go Google diving for an image, but I fear what I might find if I Google Jawa cosplay.

Yeah, that way lies unwholesome Rule 34. I mean, R34 is never wholesome, but that sector is bound to be particularly vile.

Then again, you can always claim you did it for Science. Who would begrudge a simple wizard some Science?

[The Wizard Joseph]

I Googled it... There's a lot more of it than I thought there would be. A lot. Man there's a lot of Jawa cosplay.

[The Wizard Joseph]

Also what is Rule 34?

[altered]

Rule 34: if it exists, there is porn of it.

Also, we thank you for your sacrifice.

I got a new profile pic out of it! Sacrifice was totally worth it.

With your education, Canada would fall all over itself to let you in.

But they also have weird conservatives.  New Zealand is the last sane place on the planet.
