Seems reasonable. After I posted I realised that “Donald and Harris” would be a meaningless word-soup in my head for a few seconds if you’d gone with that instead.

I don’t know. I live in one of the many western democracies that have maybe six or seven relatively normal parties to vote for; as well as a few more to the edges of the political spectrum. I think this question only applies to people in the US.

“He always was a bit of a… reader when he was young.” said with such utter contempt and disgust; like it was a terrible thing.

It does look like a Mini at first glance.

Just out of curiosity is there any reason, you’re aware of, that you went for “Trump and Kamala” as opposed to “Trump and Harris” when you wrote your post? I’ve got no clowns in this circus so it’s a genuine question.

I’m not from the US but we do have FPtP here. I propose that all political positions should be filled in a manner similar to selecting a jury. Grab a bunch of citizens at random, do some vetting, install those that pass into the various positions. Three year limit. All major national policy votes taken via a (digital, on your phone) referendum. I strongly believe the only way to save politics is to remove “professional politicians” from the mix.

For what it’s worth I think most of your theory is correct.

The majority of UK building societies turned themselves into banks; maybe twenty years ago when the legislation was passed to enable it. A select few still exist though, but I don’t believe any are that large.

I’ve just quoted your advice in reply. Again, thanks for the recommendation a while ago.

In a thread of advice from gay men to straight men someone told us that gay guys have extra choice in underwear - it’s wild until you see it. They recommended: “Andrew Christian, Box, or Aussiebum, or any of the other underwear sites that cater to gay men. We have styles of underwear you wouldn't believe.” They weren’t wrong. I bought for comfort - not sexiness.

Have a wider choice of underwear. Some beautiful individual in another thread put me on to “gay” underwear… comfort settings I’d never dreamed of. I’d feel contained performing CPR in these badboys. Apparently this clothing change is the first step on the road to man love - according to the absolute brains trust I’ve had the pleasure of working with for the last couple of months.

I’ve always interpreted it as meaning that I care so little for something I can’t even be bothered to put the effort in to not care about it as much as I should… but, yeah, it’s used incorrectly way too often and makes no sense most of the time.
