Here's some advice I received years ago for this very situation: if you're struggling to piss due to stage fright, imagine pissing on the head of someone you hate. Really imagine it. Imagine micturating all over their hair (or their scalp), the aghast expression, then them spluttering while trying to mouth 'What the fuck?' it does work. I don't know why it works - and I most definitely don't want to know - but it does work.

You're all most welcome :)

Fucking hell, by that logic teaching religion is immoral along with sex education. Get with the programme and enjoy the parameters of the initial premise.

MUNCH DOWN ON THAT CAN OF WORMS, COMMENT SECTION, YOU FUCKS

I think you missed the 'massive breadbasket failures' part of my comment. You can't air condition a field of rice. Well, you could, but good luck trying that on the scale needed to feed everyone once crops begin to fail globally.

Tell that to the vast swathes of the globe, including China, due to face lethal wet bulb temperatures within the next 10-20 years. Which, along with mass death, means massive breadbasket failures on multiple fronts. Ain't politicking our way out of this one, chief.

The AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) is now creaking under the weight of all that Pacific heat in the ocean. If that goes - which is looking increasingly likely within the next 25-50 years - then sayonara Gulf Stream and Europe can look forward to what's likely to be extremely sub-zero winter temperatures and soaring summer temperatures.

I'm in the UK and I've bought an extra pair of mitts and a hand fan, so I'll be laughing

I mean, I just listed an example of voting making a considerable geopolitical difference. Okay, yeah, voting most likely isn't going to usher in an age of anarcho-syndicalism any time soon but telling people not to engage with the democratic process because it 'doesn't matter' is a bit disingenuous.

The Green Party in the UK recently won a by-election in a fairly small constituency called Gorton and Denton, to the shock of both Labour and Reform.

If Reform had won, I guarantee the UK's response to Trump declaring war on Iran would have been significantly more in line with what Trump expected: i.e. let's get the bombing party started.

Voting does matter. Why do you think so many bad actors are always trying to undermine it?

These fucking billionaires are so stupid they don't realise we're fast approaching a time in history that's not going to end pleasantly for greedy, self-serving, narcissistic parasitical... I could go on, but you probably get the idea. Or feel free to add to the adjectives!

Apart from United Healthcare rescinding a policy to charge for anaesthetic if an operation goes slightly wrong after their CEO was shot?
