The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
We currently have a conservative administration - the Moderates is the main party, forming "The Alliance" (cue WoW jokes) together with other right-wing parties.
The Moderates have been gobbling up votes from the other Alliance parties. And this has... interesting results. Sure, the Moderates get bigger... but it the other Alliance parties fall below 4% of the votes, they get kicked out of the parliament.
And without those support parties, the Moderates won't have a majority in the parliament. So they're literally succeeding their way to failure.
Ahahahahaha, that is fantastic!
Are they still promising not to cut any more taxes?

That seems to be a pretty common occurance in PR or coalition systems
Something similar has happened to some extent for the last five elections in NZ. The upcoming one has the prospect of being the first single party absolute majority government since the mid 1990s
So apparently GERD runs in my family and is triggered by eating after like 6:30pm. That's good to know. Everyone but my oldest brother has it.
Thanks for telling me family! Thought I was dying when I woke up chocking on fucking stomach acid.
Don't feed you after midnight?
I can't eat anything at LEAST an hour before I want to sleep
Fuckin' reverse peristalsis
I can deal with throwing up, it's a shitty feeling but wayyyyyy better than aspirating with stomach acid. That wakes you up really fucking quick.
Reverse peristalsis, ironically, doesn't mean what you think it does.
It more so means the food just kind of sits in my esophagus if I lay down too soon after eating because I basically don't have peristalsis
Waking up choking on the food you chewed up and swallowed a few minutes ago is horrible
EDIT: further googling has revealed that either my older doctors lied to me about what the condition is called, or there is more than one usage of the phrase "reverse peristalsis"

Wouldn't you have to spin it extraordinarily fast and have magnetic shoes or something to keep you latched in? Wouldn't that just make you feel sick like those spinney rides at fairs?
I never really understood the concept of "spin it fast to make gravity!"
bowen on
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

advantage 1 of being a medical student: I get all the real names for things that may afflict me.
more likely they just meant "aperistalsis"- it is due to Tracheal esophageal fistula and the resultant repair of that disorder. The scarring from the surgery ruined my esophageal tract and the muscles etc

I sounded like a gremlin that's for sure.

Welp, Arch can never be an astronaut.
Just keep spinning the ship to simulate gravity!
Don't fucking remind me
That was literally my career choice before I realized that- I was going to go to med school and be a crew doctor
Or whatever it was called
I'm feeling just plain violent.

Why didn't anyone ever tell me
I thought jeans were the most comfortable thing
Everything I know is a lie
I have seen this image too many times during my own barium swallows
Mine isn't idiopathic though
Hey nurse, it doesn't really taste like a motherfucking vanilla milkshake. You know what it tastes like? Vanilla puke.
Denim hasn't touched this skin in over a decade.
The worst is the fucking paste the put on the goddamned saltines
i know this because a billboard in louisiana told me so
sweat pants are hot and I am very hot natured so no. And I guess I've never worn those types of workout pants.
I like my jeans
Dude you are taking my comment way too literally bro.
Us Catholics will just continue on with a Rapture-free day.
We don't believe in the Rapture, you see.
I just had to explain that.
And to avoid being perceived as insane, I shall now call you garbage.[/Portal 2]
But Hark a Vagrant isn't resuming until May 22!
apparently the guy who started the whole "may 21" nonsense previously predicted sept. 6, 1994 as the end of the world
of course his predictions are credible
this man has predicted it before!!
