The American bank Citigroup has announced it plans to move 900 jobs from London to Dublin. Some analists say this could be the start of the Brexodus.

It's like tea leaf divination, but with cartoon leprechauns.
There are only two sure things in life: death and taxes and lists and poor arithmetic and overlong jokes and poor memory and probably a few more things.

Unrelated to Brexit, SabertoothTiger, I made outsider controllable Sabertooth Tigers as large as Giant Lions and run around eating people and it is hilariousuly fun, though it takes a lot of kludgework with stuff to get the fang teeth working right, and I added in [GRASP] tags to the smaller back teeth, but yeah.

Full admission: I can't read, I have a trained parrot that looks at posts and shouts "SHITPOST" or "MEMES" or "LIES" or "BAHAHAHA" and I respond accordingly with a surprising success rate at interpreting what keys I should randomly mash to produce what look like witty or relevant or well thought out posts.

He looked at your block of text and exploded, so you owe me a new parrot, this one has gone to sing with the choir.

Though I did know all of it either in full detail or general sweeps, except the reddit parts, the closest I get is being a user sub gatekeeper on imgur, semi-retired these days, and from that alone developing an irrational hatred of reddit due to people submitting things they just wanted to upload, over, and over, and over, and over... etc. Many parrots died, the Jedi felt it.

I've followed the strings through some of the oppo research threads, was actually there to see the 96000000 get, very amusing, but I don't really belong to any part of 4chan except /dfg/ so it's just as a lurker that I've interpreted various things. I did indeed interpret their use of "whites", various slurs, (((them))), and so forth as the big label mash-up, and you are right that they're not conservatives but here in the US they wear it loosely as a hat because it is the opposition to their opposition: liberals.

I'm not sure if I'm missing a usage of smug, but "acting extremely satisfied and confident in one's rightness/actions/self" sums up my use, and viewing this election as a victory at shitposting a meme into office while proving liberals are dumb definitely fits.

An Italian minister has accused Boris Johnson of "insulting" his country by suggesting it should back his version of a Brexit deal or face losing sales of Prosecco sparkling wine.
Carlo Calenda said the UK would abandon some "fish and chips exports" under the foreign secretary's approach.
Truly we are witnessing international diplomacy like we've never seen before

I am quite confident in saying it's very much an internal market.

But Fish and Chips are big news!  They're in all the (yesterday's) papers!

I suspect there'll be much salt. And loads of vinegar too.

What is this heresy? Salt and sauce, you fool.
