Finding out is universal, fucking around is optional.

My only British friend is apolitical (and a bit of a dumbass, if I'm being honest). What's brexit like for your average Brit? I can't imagine having the right to just move (almost) anywhere in Europe and getting that ripped away from me, but I'll admit, I don't really know any of the other repercussions of leaving the EU.

It totally ruined a lot of people's lives. They had plans to go work somewhere in Europe maybe even live there. Now they can't do that.

The whole point of the European Union was it was supposed to be a bit like the United States without having to actually form a single nation. All of the countries would effectively act like States in one nation - they even setup Interpol to act like state troopers. Imagine if you suddenly couldn't move between states. Utterly stupid outcome, and 100% predicted.

Just like any government the EU council did do some brain dead things, but that wasn't a good reason to leave.

This has already become reality for all the women I know that are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.

Ask the women that got arrested for miscarrying their own baby, or were allowed to die after 40 hours of a half-born miscarried fetus hanging from them because doctors were unwilling to do anything that might be construed as aiding and abetting abortion.

As an American, please don’t give anyone ideas. I really don’t want to need refugee status to go out west.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 5 points 15 hours ago

Fellow American, given the cost of living, I feel like I'd need refugee status to get out of the ~~methbelt~~ red states

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I can’t imagine giving that up. As an American I once wanted us to join the shengen as one of my long term political pipe dreams.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 1 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, back in my more politically hopeful/naive days, I dreamt of it, too. :(

Economic disaster mainly

Did you mean to reply to @Th4tGuyII@fedia.io? Tagging them so they see this too

You don't have to be the one fucking around as long as there are others fucking around you.

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 1 points 5 hours ago

Don’t you mean “fucking around around you.”? Unless… 😏

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I kinda want to fuck around, just not like this. Not like this!
