I would never have predicted that there would be a post by wuphysics87 titled 'whats something you couldnt have predicted?'
The result of the UK referendum on proportional voting ... it was obvious which choice made more sense, didn't require much in terms of critical thinking, and the campaign against changing from FTTP was so obviously BS propaganda.
And that was how I learned that most people are absolute fucking morons.
After that Brexit, Trump, Boris Johnson, Trump again, etc etc, came as little surprise.
People consistently vote against proportional voting systems it seems. We have had 3 referendums on the topic in my area and it failed each time.
That I'm still paying the rent amount from when we moved in nearly ten years ago. Comparable places cost twice as much when we last looked in 2024. We'd actually like to move to a more modern place but at these rates it's extremely hard to justify a nicer and/or nearer place
The landlord is super lazy, they do the bare bare minimum for maintenance and repairs so we just do the small things instead of trying to motivate him to do it or send someone, but also, bless this landlord lol!
That the Berenstein Bears would be mispelled. That the Fruit of the Loom logo would no longer have a cornucopia. That Trump would be elected...twice. That outright stupidity and a farce for being correct would force the removal of icons such as Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, and the Land O' Lakes girl.
There's manga in my kids' school library. When I was a kid, I had to ask my dad to drive to this comic book store in the next town over to hopefully find some, or download fan translated scans online. I never thought it would become mainstream and not just for the weird kids like me.
