Alright, I have something to tell you all. Tomorrow morning, June 1, I'll be leaving for a European trip with some high school teachers and classmates. I'm going to be visiting England, France, Switzerland, and Italy. The trip schedule is pretty packed, so there's a good chance I won't be on NS much. However, I'll do my best to check the RMB and maybe post an occasional message or reply. The trip will last for 17 days, so I should be back June 17th or 18th. This isn't really a goodbye, since I may be able to check in here once-in-a-while, but I just thought you all should know.

I'll just have coal and water.

EU: I've heard Thomas express concerns about Britain leaving the EU, but Gordon says he supports Britain leaving the EU. Percyton isn't in the EU, both due to our isolationism and because we don't think they'd accept us anyway, but we're keeping a close eye on Britain leaving the EU because we're so closely tied to Britain.

Processed food: The only food I need is coal, and the only drink I need is water. Can't get more non-processed than that!

90s sitcoms: I've seen a few, and I like them. Full House and The Golden Girls would probably be my favorites.

Bonus: Maybe Trump pressed the wrong buttons on their phone when trying to type out 'coffee', maybe? Maybe that's why Donald Trump is always so cranky: He never gets his coffee in the morning because he keeps misspelling the word 'coffee'!

Pepperoni pizza and caesar salad, svp! With some iced tea, if the barkeep would be so kind.

EU - Not a fan of supranational organizations, but given it's free trade, alignment of industry regulations, and open visas I can hardly blame those who live within it and enjoy the perks. Plus, it may help play a role in Scottish separatism, and that's kind of cool for no other reason then it will make Nurem the happiest guy on Earth. (P.s. Good luck with studying and on your exam, Nurem!)

Processed Food - The definition of what is "processed" is actually quite broad, so I can't say anything terribly negative about it- it probably makes up a good percentage of my diet.

90s Sitcoms - So often I go back to shows that I loved as a kid and find that they have absolutely zero appeal for me now that I've grown up. Not even the nostalgia factor improves my viewing experience. I started watching That 70s Show again recently, though, which I believe began in the 90s. And I'm finding it rather enjoyable, so there are exceptions to the rule. And, of course, there's timeless shows like Friends, Will and Grace, etc.

The EU is worth way more than what people give it credit for, and the scientific and economic progress it has brought forth is way more important that what people may believe; My only problem with it, and the reason its treading on such thin ice lately, in my personal and imperfect opinion if it was far more transparent and aproachable it would be viewed in a brighter light.

Processed foods need to be revamped, GMO that shtuff, fix its processing to make it you know, less ecologically mutilating and send her on its way

I'll have pizza and iced tea.

EU: I generally support it, and it's gonna make my trip to Europe much easier, but I don't live in the EU, so I don't have a strong opinion on it. I'd be open to EU reforms, but I don't think it should be dissolved.

Processed food: I know it's not good for you health-wise, but processed food is still a pretty big chunk of my diet, so I'm not one to talk.

90s sitcom: Some of them can be a bit corny, but some of them can still be good. My favorites are Full House, That 70s Show, and if we're counting animated sitcoms, King of the Hill.

Bonus: The most plausible-sounding theory I heard is that it's a misspelling of 'coverage', but I have no idea how you can turn 'coverage' into 'covfefe'. In absence of any other plausible theories, I think I might go with Percy's theory.

Pizza and a Monster, per the usual high school diet

EU: I do like it as a supranational organization and a form of European unity, but the excesses it has in trying to govern and the lack of a cohesive structure stuck as a conferral government rather than that which can enact laws of it's own makes it a bit cumbersome. Nevertheless, I still support maintaining the EU for the foreseeable future.

Processed food: *shrug* I mean, PF is basically what I happen to consume most, what with being an American teenager and all, but I do recognize that as a source of good nutrition it's basically death if eaten all the flipping time

90s sitcoms: Some are corny, some are good: for example, I'm not really into Friends (blasphemous, I know :p), but I love Full House, Home Improvement, and Fresh Prince given that was what I grew up watching on Nick@Nite. Animated-wise, being a Texan, King of the Hill is the best thing since propane huffing and destroying butane reserves, I tell you hwat :p

Covfefe: ...

I honestly have no idea how someone can create a bungled-up word like that: anyways, I think it may be coffee or coverage, but honestly, it may just be a Trump thing

You don't exactly have to say "I learned how to write laws through a game." You could say "I know how to write laws" and leave it at that.

This is my first ever tea time! Even though I've been in the region for several months I didn't participate but since this might be the last for a while, I figured I should get involved this time!

I'll have caesar salad and bottled water - sounds a lot healthier than I usually eat.

Egh, I don't really have an opinion about the EU. I'm American and not interested in economics or like, the intricacies of foreign affairs. It sounds like a good idea in theory but I'm pretty sure in practice it's not going so well.

Processed food, hoo boy, that stuff will kill you but it's basically my entire diet right now.

90s sitcoms. Mmmm now that's some good stuff. Check this one out: www.imbd.com/title/tt0112095

My dad and I obsessively play Words With Friends against each other throughout the day - I only see him for 2 days each week so we make our time in between count :P Anyways, "covfefe" was today's word of the day, newly added! "The amount and quality of reporting when autocorrect fails you at 3 a.m." Obviously ol' Trumpo meant to type "coverage" and it was a simple typo that is easily forgivable because we all do it. But why did Spicey have to get all mysterious about it? Can he not just admit that his boss goofed up?

Bonus:

Dreams. Nightmares. Reality. Time. Geico©.

I started out as a centrist-ish southwesterner (my short lived Dem partisan phase), then moved to a far northwesterner (my Marxist-Leninist phase), then a far northeasterner (Fascist phase), then a southeasterner (US Libertarian phase), then a less southern easterner (Repub phase), then a southwesterner again. And I've stayed as a South westerner for about 2 years now.

Food: Pepperoni Pizza, dude. Just don't make it too greasy. An iced green tea too, please.

Topics: The EU is an unfortunate case of half-cocking a uniting idea, for it to work properly a number of things need to militarily happen that simply can't due to European Pride.

The Countries of the world need to embrace the unholy Zerg-Spam of Leopard II or go American State N*51 to improve the cost efficiency of weapon programs -though again, not all would, not all would and that raises the cost- and basically bring all their weaponry down to one platform or a very small number thereof.

Basically, what should be an additional defense pact suffers from stupid Euro-Pride that makes things like the Challenger I & II and CLIP/CLEP rather than aiding the push to flood the market with an infinite number of Leopard IIs.

Furthermore, the EU's handling of delicate events like Brexit was...less than superb...so the rising costs of military advancement is going to really bite the remaining States.

BT: It's a simple mistweet, I do it -typing that is- all the time.
