It's time for the Queen to grab true power and rule with an iron fist while drawing the common folk close to her warm breast to supple on her teet.

I'm sure that your fellow Brits will be very happy when construction prices rise 20% because your fellow countrymen don't want to work for the same wages as the Polish do.  

We're not building enough homes as it is and immigration that is too high has pushed up rent and house prices out of the reach of your average Brit. Especially here in the capital. We've actually been warned that house prices will fall, which is a good thing for many young people who cannot get onto the housing ladder.

It was a protest vote.  Referendums have a nasty habbit of turning out in favour for the negative option.

Yes that's a part of it. But you don't live here, haven't grown up here and don't really understand the mindset or the issues that people here feel have impacted their lives; so I would go easy on the reaching out for easy conclusions. I voted Remain, but I can see why a lot of people didn't.

I still don't understand the point of all this. Why woudl they leave?Britain has full control over their own currency already.

It's not just about currency. There is a broad political union and a push for more integration too. I think most people here just didn't like being told by other people outside the country - what to do. The idea of having un-elected bureaucrats making rules we were forced to implement just sticks in their craw. And getting change in the EU was like getting 27 other states to all turn their nuclear keys at the same time.

We broadly have two major polical parties here and the way democracy works is that you vote out the one you don't like and the other party implements change. So we have had a Labour govt that signs up to all sorts of EU rules, then 4 years later we have a Conservative govt and they can't undo what the Labour govt signed up to, without 27 other countries saying they can do it. Which hardly ever happens. People on the Remain camp said being in we have a voice, but you actually have 1/28th of a vote.

Then there is the £277 million-ish amount per week we had to pay to be a member, which went to other states. We actually gave £350 million a week but got some back -with the caveat that we had no say in how the EU used our own money in our own country. The rest of the money, £277 million was given to other states one would assume. Then there is freedom of movement in the EU, which doesn't just mean you can travel anywhere in the EU, but that there is essentially infinite immigration and there is nothing you can do to control or restrict it. Imagine this happened in American or Canada where you were part of a large bloc of America and or South American countries and anyone could up sticks and live wherever they wanted. In utopian ideals it sounds great, but imagine the sort of issues that brings about as you have more afflent vs weaker economies and people with different values.

Imagine the pressure on public services.

Without wanting to go into long debates over the topic, you act as if those problems are exclusive to the UK, while I see all those things happening here too.   And to toss around figures saying we pay this and that and only receive that and this is to miss the point of being part of a union.  Not all benefits can be meassured in cold cash and there will always be a social element in which the more wealthy members will help those with weaker economies.  People these days only care about the here and now, without looking to both the future and the past.  It's a nationalistic and populistic ideal to think that you can just fold back on yourself as a nation and all the problems will go away.  If anything, your governement won't have anyone to put the blame on when some things turn out for the worse, which is so in vogue in the EU these days.

I have been trying to download FF XIV for roughly 2 days now, because work shifts mean I have to leave the client open, start the download and then come back home to find...

THAT SHITTY SQUARE ENIX PIECE OF FUCK SERVERS ARE ASS AND FUCK UP EVERY SINGLE TIME. I am greeted with all kinds of download error messages. Hopefully I'll get back home today and finally find it done.

Fucking S-E. I can imagine their online shit being dictated by an ancient japanese man. "THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WITH SERVERS IS HONOR. ONE SERVER MUST DO FOR THE WHOLE WORLD"

Their former CEO was the guy who was all into everything being online and had them set up their shitty online servers. He ruined the company for a long time, almost as bad as the Konami guy.

Oculus just removed hardware DRM, Vive owners can play oculus store games now. Wow good for them.

You go through time and various Zelda games in Hyrule Warriors?!?! This is so cool!!!!!!

Imagine some open border shit going on between the US and Mexico. This side would be empty in like half a fucking day. Hell even I would go over there and crash at Robio's place or something. Feed me Robio, you must have huge bags of weirdly flavored candy corn stuff and oddly concocted spirits.
