All songs should be taken literally, which is why I eat love and prayers, and have a restraining order against me for trying to drag Hozier into a church at knifepoint.

I'm not sure becoming desensitised to trauma is an effective strategy either. That suggests that we stop caring about what's going on.
I'm in the same situation, 2016-2020 was a stressful time. Constantly trying to keep up with each horrible new development, about which I could do nothing but despair, became an unhealthy obsession. I don't want to do that again. I'm not a political scientist, and I neglected my own personal growth and development becoming an armchair expert in politics because I could see what was happening. This time I'm going to focus on myself and the people around me because that's all I can do. The world will keep turning. If I have the opportunity to do something positive, I'll take it.

Good point. The stupids aligned with the evils on this one.

Haha! To prove that it wasn't me, I just downvoted you. You are now on -1.

Sorry dude, you assumed too much there. I'm in Europe, and don't go around down voting people in the middle of the night.

Anyway, your point. It's irrelevant, since we were talking about NASA vs. the space rangers or whatever they're called. Not This Guy vs. me.

No, it's space administration. And they are the ones who actually know a thing about how spaceflight works, unlike this guy, evidently.

Does he?

Does he what?

He clearly supported Brexit no matter what the semantics of it are

What do you mean by the word "semantics" in this sentence? I don't think it means what you think it means.
Here are some examples of John Oliver opposing Brexit:

guardian, 2019

Last Week Tonight, Jun 2016

Last Week Tonight, Brexit ii

Last Week Tonight, Brexit iii

John Oliver publicly, repeatedly opposed Brexit, using his considerable platform to do so. With respect, you are talking out of your anus.

You seem to want to paint John Oliver as a stereotype, and then claim that this is all he is. I find that reductive, ignorant and distasteful. Here is someone who addresses issues varying from presidential accountability to gambling laws, national, international and global issues, with compassion, logic, humanity and humour. And you try to boil him down to a stereotype. You're not even able to define the stereotype you're trying to invoke. It would be funny if it weren't shameful.

Am I god now?

No, but you're nearly Franz Reuleaux

Funny you should say that last part. The shark's estimated age is 392 years (500+ is an upper estimate) which would mean it was born in 1632, the same year that Galileo disproved the earth orbiting the sun.

There's the border, then there's The Border. One is a line drawn on a map for administrative purposes, sometimes comes with its own road sign. The other is a checkpoint where your documents are handed over and you're at the mercy of the border authority. Usually doesn't happen between towns, but those are pretty popular in places like Soviet Germany, apartheid South Africa and the West Bank for example.
