Edit Reason: "danger" was used as a verb. Changed to "endanger."

I will continue to do both of those things, especially the Brexit part.
Why would you carry on reheating rice? The scientific evidence says that it is a health risk regardless of whether you have been okay so far.
I really couldn't care less whether you keep supporting Brexit compared to this. I really hope you don't continue to endanger your health by reheating rice now that you know better

No point in reading newspapers anymore, and most news sites don't focus on a broad spectrum.
I subscribe to a bunch of news subreddits and that keeps me updated with both international news, as well as interesting stories from places I've never even heard of.
Reddit has been one massive circle jerk on the brexit topic.

I object.
No one would ever say "I was right tired of them bleedin' brown-skinned immigrants, innit?"
'innit' is short for isn't it and normally used in as a rhetorical question which therefore does not require a question mark at the end of the sentence. e.g.
"Fackin' shite innit"
... which can be translated as "I deem it to be extremely poor" to express one's dissatisfaction of a specific situation, state or of one's current predicament.
Instead of 'innit' the equivalent shortening of "wasn't I" should be used. It's not generally known how to spell this but assuming a phonetic spelling it could be considered as 'waan-i", the T of course being absent due to the glottal stop. The word "aren't I" can also be shortened in this way.
"bleedin'" is falling out of popular use, mainly to be found in the vernacular of the baby boomer generation who still identify as working class and have been raised not to swear. Or it can be used when the speaker has already used the word "fackin'" and is not actually angry enough to use it twice in the same sentence. Using the word "fackin'" twice in the same sentence when one is not angry just shows oneself to be linguistically clumsy and coarse.
'brown-skinned' is too revealing of one's racist tendencies and is best substituted with references to specific nationalities, such as 'chinky' or 'paki'. Or can be dropped entirely using just the word 'immigrant' on its own knowing that everyone else will implicitly understand that you are referring to people of a different skin colour, regardless of whether they actually are immigrants.
So the correct usage of this sentence should be:
"I was right tired of them fackin' immigrants waan-i".

but... aren't those baby boomers the ones mostly responsible for the winning of the "Leave" position?

I am unaware of a point in time where Reddit wasn't a massive circle jerk.

Well if you are sceptical of the advice about rice you can always do an experiment.
Cook plain rice then let it cool down to room temperature.
Then wait a period of time before reheating it and eating it.
Make a note of how long it stayed at room temperature and keep track of how you feel in the hours afterwards and the following day.
If you don't feel ill then repeat the experiment but leave the rice sitting at room temperature for a little bit longer. The first time you feel queasy (or downright ill), pause the experiment, get better and then repeat to see whether it is reproducible or a false positive.
This will tell you how long you are able to risk leaving rice at room temperature and continue to convince yourself that you shouldn't be listening to experts but rather go by your own gut feeling.
Do this at your own risk. Author is not held liable for giving out bad advice.
