Well, I think it was always going to be a lot closer than we think, as with Brexit.
We're so exposed to social media, that, regardless of whether we read the news or not, that's where we see a significant amount of political opinions. Every article / status on Facebook for me personally is negative about Trump - anything positive (if there is anything) is instantly ridiculed and mocked. But in reality, social media is such a limited representation of voters. At face-value that's why both these results are shocking to a lot of us, because all we see all day is about how awful he is.
In part that's possibly why the exit polls suggested a Clinton win, with some experts suggesting that Trump voters were scared to admit they voted Trump. I think that's actually more due to the hate from the youth / left wing than being ashamed about voting for him. Although I don't think anything disastrous is going to happen, just to be moderately comfortable I'd have voted Clinton. That doesn't excuse the behaviour of the left wing. Aggressive and overtly hostile to anyone wishing to back Trump, much more so than Trump voters to democrats.
Expect some possible changes on abortion, gun rights and stuff - but really that's nothing for us to worry about. They are domestic issues, which the people have voted for in democratic fashion and we don't really have a right to complain about. I'm sure the U.S thinks our rape statistics are fucked up in comparison to theirs. On an international scale it's far more complicated than, again, social media makes out. Trump can't just nuke North Korea, without probably first confirming with the Army Generals, top officials and certainly the Secretary of defence.
It is more scary with the fact that the Republicans now control the Senate and HoR, but a lot of these representatives are unsympathetic on a fair few of Trump's views - just voting for him along party alliance lines. Yes, a lot of Americans want USA great again - confirming rights, securing better trade deals, getting back above China on an economic scale and even as far as getting rid of some immigrants. But in response to the initial question, I doubt a majority Congress would agree to declare war on Russia or China in the foreseeable future.
If Trump as he is now, a dick in personality, but hasn't done anything fucking crazy - just pleased a lot of Americans by returning to roots, I predict he retains the presidency. It's already easy enough for an incumbent President to carry on. The real battle-ground now will be 2024, unless something drastic happens.
It's pretty obvious the candidates weren't great. But Democrats probably fucked up more than the Republicans. I would have liked to see Joe Biden or even Patrick Leahy go for it, but if they didn't want to, not much you can do, even Bernie would have served better. I think a lot of the population was content with Obama - had a better candidate been up, I think democrats would have won tbh. For me, one of the most fascinating things is that the Libertarian party rose from 1 million votes in 2012 to 4 million last night; shows how shit the main party candidates were.
But yeah, tl;dr - no WW3, unless it's declared on the US, not really sure what's going on in North Korea and Russia.

Today is a sad day..... its Keijis last day on the internet for a few months until hes up and running as he is moving to France.

Can we all send leave him a nice little message of something that reminds you of him or just wish him well with his move etc.


Keiji is legit one of my favourite people within outbreak, me and Keiji can literally be in a channel along and laugh for hours, talking shit, making weird noises, i think his autism rubs off on me haha. I will miss him whiles he is gone and look forward to his return. 

All the best Keiji xxx

Vets are shitlords, but also an important part of this community, having been its spinal column through bad times and good. Because of this, they are likely to be pretty entitled. I think most of us don't take our vet status seriously - it's more like a fun fantasy to indulge in. I do however think that some of us actually do take this seriously (not me/Weezy, that's for sure). The idea of grown men taking actual pride in having joined a forum/community a while ago is just beyond absurd.
 
But we do have a specific and cancerous sense of humour which is largely based on realising that we can get away with a bit more than we used to be able to, because we're aware we are a pretty integral part of the community. This humour also comes from the fact that we know each other extremely well, so we know what we find funny, which as it turns out post-McLovin rule, with its strict 'NO RACISM' rule, is revoltingly politically incorrect garbage.

Also, I think pretty much every vet has been either an admin or a moderator (excluding Jak). As a result, we kind of know how it feels for moderators dealing with difficult community members, but because we are revolting cunts, we use this to wind people up rather than displaying empathy. That being said (and I think this is largely true for vets), the one rule is do not get wound up. We know this, but I don't know if a lot of the mods are quite as aware. Also, I think (generalising here) that mods can feel quite under pressure from us, as if there is genuine anger and outrage, which there is sometimes, say following a ban, but largely we just do it for effect and humour. And if you do get wound up, it's like a red rag to a bull - the vets will charge (as we do each other as well).

Also, we are horrifically ironic/sarcastic - I think about 75% of the average vet conversation is sarcasm/irony, which we know how to interpret because we know each other extremely fucking well. Some of the current admino staff do not know us this well, so it's difficult for them to get to know us. For moderators/admins, one piece of advice in dealing with us mighty vets is to assume we aren't actually having a sincere go at you, and that any shit given is more about playing with your position of authority rather than any personal problem with you. Also, just try and talk with us normally - Daffy does this well, and it completely kills the troll vibe, and Unseen is fucking master diplomat. Even Conor and I talk sometime, and he's the biggest eyes of all!

Right now I think we're in a pretty annoying cycle, not too dissimilar from the relationship between poor black people and the police in America (though obviously OB TS is more important than any boring American shit). Poor black people in poor areas commit loads of crime, so cops are over-zealous in policing/shooting, which in turn creates outrage which then perpetuates the cycle. In the same way, I think over-zealous moderating results in some genuine outrage, which in turn prompts us to behave like shitkids and made moderating exhausting/difficult, which then in turn prompts moderators to be harsher and so on.

TLDR MODS ARE FUCKIN CUCKS U CANT KEEP A VET DOWN or... 
 
Treat us normally, cut us some slack, and let us practise our cancer culture, and we might move toward a situation where we're more moderate but still contribute to the liveliness of this community. Apart from after 10PM at night, then all bets are off. For the record, I think another TS would be cancer - but I also think that the OG channel should remain a bit of a special, if chaotic place.
 

Please put in the description or something, that the channel is intended for people that can take mature content, a place to release steam or whatever. I would say 18+ but the intention of the channel is not to have an age-restriction as we have welcomed many people who have been under 18. 
Our channel does NOT need policing. Someone spamming chat with 32, dropping bombs, or general NSFW content should not be met with a ban. Obviously serious shit like bullying, ddosing, hacking, threatening etc should still be dealt with but honestly use your judgement.
The promise was with the removal of 'Veteran' (even though people are still widely known as vets) was that we would have our own channel to chill and release the pressure valve in without having to worry about being banned. Banning for stupid dumb shit like spamming local chat or playing a soundboard just cos that one mod who is sitting there sniping doesn't like it, is so dumb.
Im not having a go at anyone, that is not the intention. But doing this kind of shit is honestly just going to cause fights, let it be obvious that OG channel is intended for audiences who can have a laugh and take a bit of banter. Surprisingly enough as many of you know, we are not cunts unless we are unnecessarily provoked, lol.
tl;dr = give our channel a warning, dont sit there sniping, chill the fuck out.
 
1 like = 1 veteran supported for poppy day

yup I was wondering if it was because I've had this youtube acc since back then
i'm feeling so nostalgic right now god i miss those days
 
edit: HOLY SHIT 
me and some friends recorded a guy from our class dancing and singing this and it became the biggest meme in our school.
(i'll try not to spam this thread anymore)

Agree with ur predictions, except I dont think Tate will need a judge decision and if McGregor wins it is most likely gonna be judge decision unless he gets a really nice left hand in and Eddie goes too aggresive (precision beats power).
Also, added a poll coz why not, feel free to vote.

MY PREDICTIONS:
____________________________________________________
McGregor will win by KO in the second round.
Thompson is going to get fucked in the first round.
Jed will win by judge decision.
Weidman 1st round KO.
Cerrone has shit sustain and will be knocked out by 2nd.
Tate will win by judge decision.

Couldn't care less about the others.

SOLID TEKNO SONI

Salty little cunt who makes completely irrelevant correlations between voices and real life.
most unoriginal jokes in the world 
tried to get a fuck boy haircut to try take to attention away from his long horse-like face and his extra white complexion due to him never leaving his house, talking to people who don't know him in real life because everyone that actually knows him... hates him. Maybe if you actually blew your nose once in a while you might not be so fucking annoying every time you speak you skinny freak.
have fun with your eating disorder.

You have to climb a tree to be able to fucking reach Adie's fanny and even then you have to stuff a couple of branches in so she doesn't ask 'Is it in?'
