That has to be a US thing there's no way anyone else is like that.

I work for a pretty button-down organisation and frankly they're ridiculously obsessive about corporate stuff but even they wouldn't blink at Gimp.

Now it sounds like a piece of IKEA furniture.

Enjoy our all new JÏMP chair.

I don't know a lot of people in the US act exactly like him. I feel like you should be quizzed at the polling station with very basic questions about a politician's publicly announced policies. You know stuff that you would be able to find out with 30 seconds of research on Google. Nothing too taxing.

If you can't name at least one policy announcement you should be kicked out.

Didn't everyone start off with a year in that movie?

That was the most unrealistic part, they'd absolutely make you pay upfront or you would just die instantly the moment you hit 21 or whatever the age limit was.

He added that he is sure if he was told there was evidence a journalist or agent had blagged information, he would "have been pretty furious".

I'm sure he would be furious. Evidence is the last thing that they want.

The only preposterous thing in this enquiry is the fact that it took so long to get to this point.

I have colleagues who don't read emails, so I guess it's possible.

But given the fact that he appears to be ignorant of fundamental US laws, I have to conclude that he didn't bother reading any of them.

I'm honestly surprised that some Hollywood action movie actor has never actually become president. I've honestly surprised it isn't Tom Cruise.

I literally took out a mortgage to buy my house. That's financing.

If I lose my job and I'm not able to find another one then the bank will repossess my house, but that doesn't make my purchase of my house a financially irresponsible decision. The repayments on my mortgage are considerably less than the rent that I used to pay, so I am much better off now than I was previously. Anyway I would have lost my rental had I stopped paying as well, so nothing's really changed.

He would be best to go back to Mexico on his own right now, or else he'll probably end up somewhere he doesn't want to be.

Of course, he's an idiot so this won't have occurred to him.

He openly admits that he doesn't actually know anything about the people he's voting for, and just votes for anyone who represents the republican party. He doesn't even know if he actually voted for Trump or not he just "suspects" that he probably did. This probably means he also doesn't bother to actually pay any attention to any of the policies of the republican party.

He just coasted through life without paying any attention or ever engaging in his brain. He's the reason that manufacturers had to start putting "don't drink bleach" warnings on bleach.

He's perfect. He should run for Congress

People like this should be sued for the oxygen they use.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.
