That feel when you are paid in USD and the conversion rate to GBP has shat itself because the UK is full of racist, ignorant twats.

Ramen it is then.

Not to invalidate your sads, but don't dollars now sell for more pounds than they did before?

I have a mosquito bite/zit in my ear.

As in, actually INSIDE MY EAR.

And I regularly wear earbuds.

Yay.

I think the exchange rate dropped from something like 1 USD -> 1.5 GBP to 1 USD -> 1.3 GBP.

So, if you got paid, say, 3 USD that's now about 4 GBP, whereas before if you got paid 3 USD that would be 4.5 GBP.

No, I'm pretty sure it's the other way around.

1 USD now = 0.75 GBP, whereas it was 0.66 or so before Brexit. So yeah....if you're paid in dollars and living in the UK, you should be better off now.
Now, if you're paid in quid and live in the States (or Europe, or China or Australia, or pretty much anywhere on the planet outside the UK)....ouch.

What the heck? I could've sworn it was the other way around.

The conservatives earned 15 more seats than last time,  in the repeat election in Spain, despite rampart corruption, and evidence of using the security forces of the state in order to attack and discredit their political opponents. I'd never despaired so much after an election

Also just noticed your avatar is animated. Creeeeepy.

In other news, I now have a full-blown thing for one of my female friends. I suppose it's better than crushing on fictional characters, at least.

[TheBiggerFish]

Despite rampant corruption.

Well, there's your problem.

*pats*

I wish there was some way to make people vote in their best interest, but, alas.

@OW:

Well, are they taken?  If not, good, now stop moping and consider options.  If yes, well.  *pats*  I wish you good luck.

It's called 'massive state violence'. It mostly works by changing what's in people's best interest, though.

Wasn't there also a government minister involved in trying to smear the leader of the Catalan Independence Party with, of all things, the Catalan anti-fraud official?

Edit: Ha! I do remember some things.

Debatable
But for most people, yeah that's probably better.  Good luck!

Hence my comment about using the state apparatus to attack and discredit their opponents. There is a slim chance of them not staying in power but its very slim.

Meh. I cant even sleep. I have consultation tomorrow and I cant even sleep. This might have been the last serious attempt in a long while to break the turnover of the two major parties and it has been an utter failure.

Both in my home region and in Catalonia other alternative parties actually did well. Maybe the independentists do have a point about wanting to secede, after all.

On the positive side, at least you got friends, right?

Plus, people train as doctors (which is long, difficult, and very expensive) partially because doctors tend to be wealthy.  It's an incentive to reward the personal investment.

There are other reasons to go into medicine, but the economics are most reliable.
