Inferior Third Season posted:Lots of people with doctorates are stupid as hell. Have doctorate, can confirm. Funded by the EU btw. I'm just shocked really, I should have taken a day of work, because I'm not getting much done. I don't think I've ever seen such an example of the younger generation getting screwed so badly by the older.

pumpinglemma posted:Well, that's that then. I won't say it was a nice country while it lasted, but it had its good points. If Cameron had a shred of decency in him he'd slit his wrists at this point, but then if he had a shred of decency in him we wouldn't be here in the first place. If lizards can regrow their tails I'm not sure slitting wrists is enough to finally kill him.

Please hold me, UKMT.  I feel pretty numb today. [quote="Vlex" post=""46139"] edit: Today in 1982 British Airways flight 9 flew into an easily-avoided cloud of volcanic ash, almost crashing and killing everyone. [/quote] How was it easily avoided? It didn't show up on weather radar. I will always love the pilot quote: quote:Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress.

Personally speaking, I was considering either doing a post-doc or applying for professorship in the UK as options for the next step in my career. These are now pretty unlikely (not least of all because I doubt the pan-European grants and fellowships supporting those will be available in the UK for very much longer.)

Mendoza posted:Is it not possible that after negotiating our way out of the EU, the outcome is so obviously unfavourable towards the UK that the government could hold another referendum or just say 'nope'. Going back a way, but the negotiations won't start until Article 50 is invoked, and once that's done, I think it takes all 28 members to stop it

Xtronoc posted:The problem with democracy in the 21st century is this: But our economy was doing well! We haven't been in recession since Northern Rock collapsed. The issue is that there are literally two seperate countries in the United Kingdom. London and Scotland who are educated, diverse and have reaped consistent economic benefits over the past few years because they base themselves in financial services and the rest of the country which is poorly educated, homogenous and has been completely screwed for the past few years because their economy is based on manufacturing. It's just loving impossible at this point to reconcile these two countries right now because they have such radically different economic, political and social needs and because any dialogue has been completely poisoned by the fact that one side views the other as ignorant buffoons who should defer to their betters and the other views facts and statistics presented to them as lies conjured by the elite who don't understand what it is to be them. The only solace you have after this referendum is that young people at least appear to be militantly liberal, in favour of the EU and seem to consistently vote along those lines in a manner that's slowly filtering up. At some point there will be a shift and it's likely to happen in the next ten years with this vote being the likely rallying point. TLDR: If getting back into the EU requires all the old people dying it's a good thing our NHS is completely hosed. Edit: Also it's going to be fascinating to see how quickly the city relocates to Edinburgh assuming Soctland goes independent in the the next two years.

'jokes' irritate the hell out of me but yeah this is pretty appalling. The sheer scale of the demographic difference in voting and how long the negative repercussions are going last, it's like the perfect opposite of the post-war consensus they inherited.

Convexed posted:My girlfriend has her heart set on studying in Europe (Finland). Would this change anything? Depends on when, but I don't think the UK will be immediately out of the Erasmus programme until the article 50 negotiations are finalised, so she's got at least one or two years to get there. I'd hurry up though.
