Hell no, we don't need another celebrity, didn't you read what I said? We need someone who can actually show they care about the issues, she only says she does things just go get more money and more viewers for her shows. All she cares about is lining her pockets with gold and being popular, and being popular is a reason for people to stroke their egos.

*Sigh* Why? Does it have to be either one of them? As long as it isn't another Clinton, I'd be fine I guess. I thought Oprah was going to leave the US if Trump got elected :lol: So much for that XD
How many big name Hollywood stars gave such a hollow threat? Maybe some day people will grow up.. Not anytime soon. They're paid way too much to have a valid opinion.

It wouldn't be a bad thing for Hollywood to purge itself from the dregs of society. Celebrities are nothing but pompous, sanctimonious losers.

If there's one good thing about Trump, it makes our decision for Brexit not look so bad in comparison.

That reminds me.. What ever happened to Calexit? Oh, right.. California can't do a damn thing... zzzzz

We tried a celebrity as president, next we should try a meme. Ugandan Knuckles 2020!

Nothing has changed for me, was living my life just fine before Trump was in office and am still living completely unchanged with him as our President.

The only thing that's different is that most online communities have turned into obnoxious Trump-whining white knighters. Nothing but headlines about some completely insignificant thing Trump may or may not have said or done. His election really flipped the SJW far left switch on the Internet and its become almost unreadable for me.
Modern day politics are too much of a joke to take seriously anymore so I typically try to avoid them, just wanted to leave my 2 cents here

Not much that the president says or does is insignificant. The US' credit rating in China took a hit simply because Trump is an international embarrassment. Words and actions have consequences for normal people, even more so for the executive branch of government.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
