Good to hear.
Not too bad, enduring the heat wave.
Penguania And Antarctica
What's a heat wave in the UK?
Everestopia, Penguania And Antarctica
That is merely a compliment and I thank you!
Penguania And Antarctica
The tabloids are absolutely gash, I'll give you that. But the actual news on the telly is nowhere near as hysterical or in-your-face biased the way American news it. The British media at least tries to make its propaganda subtle.
It's the UK when it's not raining.
Penguania And Antarctica
Any news network where Sturgeon and a waving Scottish flag isn't on there 24/7 is propaganda to you.

In California, a heat wave occurs when we have three-digit temperatures.
I'm a nationalist but I'm not all that keen on flag-waving, anthems etc.
Oh, I'll be flying out to Miami next Saturday.
Any of you political nut cases near there?
Your experience may be more suited for imparting lessons on how one becomes impeached.

Jas and Bear live in Florida.

Bear is in London for an extended amount of time
Everestopia, Jaslandia
And then you faint
Everestopia, Nuremgard, Jaslandia
We all know that Floridians have the power of stretching themselves. He's both in Florida and London right now.
Everestopia, Jaslandia, Mercunova
Wait a minute. Where do you live? If you're in the northeast, then it's not much warmer there.
Everestopia
You apologize to Bill right now!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
Pittsburgh.
It's been hot as fvck lately but I've mostly stayed inside in the air conditioning.
Everestopia, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Great God Bill of Family Clinton! Forgive my sins.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
I live in San Diego, which a great place to eat Carne Asada fries and take all of your clothes off because of the heat. It was over 100 degrees about a week ago.
Everestopia, Jaslandia, Mercunova
Yeah, it's been hot up here as well. Thankfully we have AC.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
Alternating Current? I wouldn't want that in this heat ;)
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
Well.... It's not every morning that you wake up to the return of a Former-CFN member and over 150+ RMB messages. I can't be arsed to go through them, but nonetheless...
Welcome back your Most Gracious, Emperor Everest! My name is Aleksi Coltsov, Son of the Great Aleksander Coltsov and current Premier of the Equestrian Federation. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Your Holiness.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Why thank you, Your Excellency.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
May Everestopia and Equestrian Federation work together to forge a stronger, better tomorrow.

Trump did not bow to Her Majesty when he met her. Off with his head!
Penguania And Antarctica
That's because he's a misogynistic pig who thinks he's above every woman because he has a penis.
Penguania And Antarctica
Can we please have Trump and Lula de Silva trade places?
A president or any foreign HoS frankly shouldn't bow to her.
Penguania And Antarctica
Any person not a subject of the British Crown shouldn't have to bow to her.
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Gualimole
Exactly.
She puts her bra on just like I pu.... oh.
Penguania And Antarctica
She's Royalty, it's just respectful surely?
Penguania And Antarctica
Haha, that are you putting on? Lol
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
We fought and won two wars in order to win the right to not bow to her.
I wouldn't if I was the president. HoS = HoS.
Penguania And Antarctica
I have no respect for royalty. I wouldn't bow to her if I met her either. I just think it would be hilarious to see him bow to someone, especially a woman who is clearly far more liked and respected than he is. It would really burn him.
Penguania And Antarctica
Perhaps I said too much :/
Penguania And Antarctica
Pierre Trudeau pirouetted when she turned her back. What a wank :P
Mercunova
I'm pretty sure it's only non-royal heads of state that do.
Pierre Trudeau was much less of a sissy baby than the current Trudeau.
Evers mentioned the fact that Trump doesn't like women in power. I think that explains his feelings for JT.
Penguania And Antarctica
Again, I wouldn't. A head of state equals a head of state.
Even if I met her tomorrow I wouldn't bow to her. She doesn't rule me.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
She doesn't rule over anyone. She reigns. :)
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
JT being Justin Trudeau?
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
Timberlake. Its been a crazy week in Canadian politics.
Everestopia, Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
You're quiz show material.
Everestopia, Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Not very well, evidently. Since she took the throne she's lost a good chunk of the people she reigns over.
Penguania And Antarctica
I have a lot of respect for Queen Elizabeth II as a person, but she's just another human as far as blood is concerned. Bowing to her would presume that I hold her status as a Queen to be authoritative, and her status as royalty genuine, neither of which I do.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
Ditto
Penguania And Antarctica
That's because countries chose to leave the Empire or forcibly extracted themselves. Plus, she doesn't actually have much influence on policy. She's still head of state of 16 (I think) countries. Still a lot.
Everestopia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
I don't get why the right is so hostile to Trudeau.
Penguania And Antarctica
I wonder why they left or extracted themselves.
I don't blame them
Nuremgard
Nor do I. I have the same goal for my own country.
Mercunova
Tl;Dr Russia made a fool of themselves because they really can't afford to mass produce SU-57s like I suspected, but tried to play it off as being just so rad it didn't need to.

Bowing
Frankly, she should command no bow from anyone.

The Democrats in America got steamed at Trudeau for a while after he nationalized the Kinder Morgan Pipeline.
Gualimole
Why you quote anarchism at me, boi?
Because that's the only bit they got right, to me <3

My experience in Canada is that the left are equally as hostile. And rightly so, in my opinion. As a (small c) conservaive I never had the expectation that a Prime Minister Trudeau would represent my values, so I dont feel necessarily betrayed by his policies.
In the last election, however, he appealled more to the left than is normally expected from our traditionally centrist party, and it were those particular policies that hes failed to pursue.
Critics of the FPTP system dont like it when you directly renege on your promise that 2015 will be the last federal election conducted under the first-past- the-post system. Environmentalists dont like it when you nationalize a pipeline project to ensure it will be built. Decentralists dont like it when you squander your promise to establish better relationships with the provinces in almost record time. Recreational marijuana advocates dont like it when the right to smoke pot comes at the price of the right to not be pulled over and subject to a vehicle search without there at least being reasonable cause. Feminists dont like it when a party leader who has maintained that any member of caucus should be removed from their position if an allegation of sexual assault or harassment arises while an investigation or inquiry is pending, but refuses to hold himself to the same standard.
Its my experience that the left are pissed.
Bearlong, Mercunova, Gualimole
I agree on this, but I got to hand it to them for dreaming.
Mercunova
True enough, though there is a fine line between dreaming and spreading lies about your plane. >.>

Ranked pairs but with range voting instead of ranked voting would be ideal.
Bearlong
Does this have something to do with the Treaty of Berlin (1878), which was signed today 140 years ago?
And yet I'm crazy enough to combine 5th-Gen ideas with a WWII plane. XD
Nö
Hey, so long as you understand percisely how antihical the two are to each other, I'm fine with it.
I'm working on the K-440 right now, actually.
Russkov Soviet
How do I pronounce that?
Penguania And Antarctica
Ah, but you see the Liberals wanted ranked choice, the NDP wanted proportional representation, and the Conservatives simply wanted whatever reform to take place only after a mandate for such had been achieved by a referendum. And thus, JT decried that there was no consensus and that reform could therefore no longer be pursued. Nevermind that:
a) The fact that theres no consensus between our three major parties is nothing new and should be expected on almost all policy decisions.
b) The consultative town halls his caucus colleagues were holding across the country seemed to give the impression that there was a consensus for ranked choice because thats what the Liberals reported was the overwhelming topic of discussion and preferred option coming out of those meetings.
(Lets have a moment of silence for all the tweets deleted by Liberal MPs once Prime Minister Butts made the decision that they would not be pursuing any reform)
c) If there is or isnt consensus among the Canadian people, then a referendum was likely a better measure for determining this than a bad feeling in JTs tummy.
Bearlong, Mercunova
Ohoho! I went and looked it up. I like.
A referendum seems reasonable, especially when there isn't a consensus among the parties. But seriously, I want a voting systems discussion. We haven't had one in a long time.
Bearlong
Yee, YF-23 was a good boi before it got slaughtered. I definitely wanted to integrate my own version of the YF-120 into it, but I think I ran out of time. C'est la vie and all.
Anyhow, I'm going to put in some side-arrays and the like before moving on to my K4AM. I need to keep working on that >.>

Ive developed a system based on the size, weight, and density of various anatomical characteristics, but the mods have said that its not only inapproriate for NationStates but also for general human discourse in general. Naturally, Im writing a book.
Guacamole here is looking for a debate buddy- any takers?!

Truly, the best voting system is the one where the candidate with the longest d!ck wins.
Bearlong, Nuremgard, Mercunova
If politicians were better looking, I'd be down for this voting method.

If that's a reference to something, then I don't get it.

I used a predicative bot to regurgitate a part of the Communist Manifesto. This is what it gave me.
"The Communist literature that accompanied under various nationalities against marriage is in reality a bourgeois. They therefore acts clerical socialism aspires among their hindquarters who must constitute community class. They are full. Communism deprives capital and labour. They still vegetate every country. They therefore search that society with industry and commerce and communism abolishes eternal truths into harmony."
Jaslandia
I would have offered as an ally, but... We aren't Royalty-based as a nation, nor are we human. xD. (I could grab a few of the human girls we have and check for Royal lineage, but I doubt it)
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Neither do I, but going along with jokes even when you don't understand is the hallmark of good bants
Makes just as much sense as the actual Manifesto.
Do you have sexy robots like this ruling you?

Oh God, you are being infected with British informal speech. Being Floridian was already bad enough for you.
Jaslandia

You. Have. No. Taste.
Mercunova
Will you go back on that comment if there's something niche that we both like?
He's not "being infected." He's at Stage IV incurable and has been there for some time.
You should hear his voice.
Jaslandia
I have.

Jaslandia, Mercunova
Unfortunately, no. We have a few delegates like him though, including a few females.
