    There's some cunning at work here (one might say 'dull cunning', but let's just say 'cunning'). Uses phrases like 'it might be possible'. 'By mutual agreement'. He's basically setting the table for failure, and the ability to shuffle the blame elsewhere.

    If he doesn't get what he wants, he can always just blame the EU with 'well, they didn't agree!' when he's not even coming to the table unless they just drop the whole Irish Backstop thing.

    Then he clearly tries to ignore the question he doesn't want to answer (or even understand), then tries to deflect with personal insults, then...

    ...I just noticed he does the same thing with his tie that Trump does to cover his physical issues....

    ...then starts rambling some pie-in-the-sky thing about 'goodwill' and 'trust'.
    Why are we here?

    Looks like it'll be taking more inspiration from PT or the Amnesia games with the horror and the first person ness of it all.
    Also it'll have a doggo.
    I want that dog to survive to the end. The guy can do whatever.

    Now doesn't he sound familiar...

    The only difference is, this one seems a tad more clever, than his orange-skinned, cousin.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    There are certainly vast similarities, it seems.

    john oliver did a good segment on boris on "last week".

    he's far more self aware and cunning than people give him credit for. but still, he seemed like a doofus.

    so for all my brittish brothers here, i hope you guys survive him.

    We’re basically screwed. The pound today hit its lowest level in over two years (i.e. since the middle of the post-Brexit-referendum slump).

    The economy knows. It knows.

    Nanatsu no Taizai:

    While that stinger was telegraphed from essentially space, I still got a little hype.

    Let's go!

    Yea, but like. If he IS related to the orange goofus ... people like him anyway.

    I'm looking at the shooting in California. The shooter -- legally -- bought his high-capacity semi-automatic rifle in Nevada just a short time ago. He was 19 years old.

    The legal drinking age in Nevada is 21.

    Well yeah. Alcohol, it'll make you do CRAZY stuff! But guns, their only dangerous if you are unsafe with them, or already wanted to kill someone, or bought one that wasn't well manufactured, or...

    wait, what was my point?

    One day people will start realizing that Guns are not toys, many gun owners treat their guns and other weapons either like pretty decorations, or they think that it is perfectly safe to carry around, like a tube of lipstick or a hairbrush.

    I've heard too many horror stories of kids finding guns in glove compartments, their mother's pocketbooks, or inside drawers. They find the guns and then they shoot themselves or someone near by.

    Guns are dangerous. It's a strange American myth that guns magically only shoot 'bad guys' and that they are otherwise perfectly harmless.

    It's a strange American myth just because you sell someone a gun, they won't use it.

    It's a strange American myth that guns are like toys, that they are safe for all ages.

    America is very strange

    Also 'immoral', I'm guessing.

    Yeah. I'd put a smilie in, but this is too painfully true.
