Theresa May made a surprise announcement today: early general on June 8th.
Tories will bomb It, Labour will be crushed.

So "Antifa" is the new white nationalist term for people who oppose them? Good to know. I guess mud people and nigger lovers wasn't appropriate anymore.
No it's the name they use for themselves.
It's short for anti-fascists, idiot.
and when did anti-fascism become a bad thing
It didn't. Somebody calling themselves anti-fascist, especially when they're just black bloc, doesn't make them principled.

You seem very happy.
It's a function of being depressed for four years and then realising life can indeed be different. Me being capable of appreciating what I have and thinking life is worth living is such a cognitive shift that it would be downright weird if I weren't so happy.

Tangent: How've you been lately, Meta?
Very well, thanks. Kicking drugs and going on SSRIs is quickly shaping up to be the best decision of my life.

Typing a couple paragraphs explaining your thoughts on the matter isn't what I'd call a highly-demanding exertion of effort. Maybe it's because I love to write, and I love having hard-line opinions on everything, but calling that sort of thing "high effort posting" speaks volumes to me of your unwillingness to exert even the minimum effort, which is really all that's being asked of you.
High-effort posting would involve taking a few days to vigorously research the topic before typing a lengthy, thorough response coupled with several links to the various sources you've gathered, all the while formulating your own personal appraisal of the matter in a carefully-constructed mode of persuasion. It also involves formatting the post, making it look aesthetically pleasing, while cutting some of it down to make it more succinct, yet digestible, without compromising the message.
Not to mention proofreading, making sure every single word is chosen with the utmost deliberation.
That's high-effort posting, and nobody is asking you to do that.
To be fair I used to do 'high-effort posting' as you describe, and that's what I was thinking of when I used the term, but it's probably the wrong term to use for this discussion broadly. My point is that it really isn't worth doing anything besides pasting news stories because the discussion value on this board is so low. Hell, even posting the news is barely worth doing. And, like Challenger said, we all pretty much know where the others stand, and if we don't we could probably make an educated guess.

So there's been some noises made previously about low-effort OPs on the Serious board consisting of just quoted articles and no commentary or discussion-steering from the OP, with me being a prime example.
But what's the point? Activity on this site isn't high enough--especially not on the Serious board--to warrant high effort posting. The effort just isn't rewarded with stimulating discussion.
And I mean, you could argue that more high-effort posting would lead to greater activity but I don't think anybody can think on this topic for an extended period of time and seriously reach that conclusion.

What caused the flip in personality?
I think I have certain traits that, being depressed and a teenager, were brought to the fore and made me a giant cunt.

How goes the battle against depression
Very, very well. Been on 50mg sertraline for two weeks now, with minimal side effects, and am to increase my dose to 100mg over the next few days. A lot of it is some kind of placebo from just knowing I'm on medication, but the difference is night and day. No more chronic emptiness, no more daily suicidal ideation; life is actually fucking worth living. I still have the occasional moment; but that's all they are, moments. I've probably been drinking a bit too much, but I plan on cutting down over the next few weeks. Nevertheless, it's a lot better than just getting stoned and binging on stimulants. I've also had no cravings whatsoever for MDMA. For the first time in a long, long while the tunnel looks like it has an end.

Sandtrap did more for me than I ever deserved.
That seems to be a running theme in his relationships with people. It's a shame that light has gone out.

This is the full PM he sent me: I know it's your own to choose but the fact that you show any kind of regret shows that you know you're going down the wrong road with drugs. I won't try to guilt trip you on this but I'll speak plainly because you're already doing it to yourself. You're wallowing in it.
You can give me any excuse about your drugs and I'll tell you why it's bullshit. I've seen and heard every last argument from people trying to come up with a reason to support their usage. The worst ones are those kids who say "Oh don't worry, I don't do heavy stuff." It catches up with them. Every time. Their tame shit fizzles out and then they're ready to try something new and then they're fucked.
You're headed there. Within 6 years if you keep going where you are now, you'll be trapped. This comes back to what I said. It's your call. You've got other stuff in your life weighing you down. I get that. Doesn't mean you can't man up to things and start taking control over your life before you don't have a choice anymore. This isn't a guilt trip. But I want you to think about it.
Rob, Melissa, Dylan, David, Reg, Caitlyn.
You don't know those people and you never will since they all died from their cancers. They didn't have a choice. If any of them could be alive, I'd bet my life that they wouldn't waste theirs.
I understand you. I get the self pity and the wallowing. You're smart enough to know that it's closing in around you and you feel like you don't have what's needed to escape it. You lack the will and the drive to pull yourself out of it on your own.
Get help. Try anything you can to pull yourself out of your hole. Don't sit around and watch yourself circle around that drain until you've gone too far. I'm telling you. It'll catch up to you. Maybe you want it to. I say that's a load of shit. You don't have any valid reason to want that kind of fate. And now he'll never know just how much me improving my life is down to his words. How much of my motivation comes from him and the example he could set even over a forum. He died without knowing his effort really did make a difference. Goddamn.

Sandtrap messaged me some long-ass message when I was depressed. Telling me to keep my chin up and sort my life out. I didn't reply.
Idk if he saw my thread about kicking drugs and getting on medication, but I hope he did. And I wish I had replied to him, to let him know his efforts weren't in vain.
But now he's gone and isn't coming back. And it sucks.
Don't let what you didn't say become a regret. Just say it. I cried when I read Psy's post, and Challenger made a point about how we were often too lazy or dismissive to consider him. And many of us have been.
Yeah, I don't know where the fuck I was going with this post. But. . . Yeah.
I'll fucking miss him.
How is being clear working out for you?
Best decision of my life.

 To be honest I'm rather surprised Labour has even that level of support, although this is nothing less than a massive shift in the nature of British politics. Blue are the Tories under Michael Howard (which may depress the results) and then under May, Red is Labour under Blair and then Corbyn.
