I read, I also play video games and according to my children and grand children I breathe fire at idiots,“Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.”
Really am tired of explaining the history of census records in this country. So many idiots who think it is a govt plot. You even got fined in the early census for not participating. So have a hunt see if you have an ancestor who was in one of the early recorded ones.

I'll add to this post, if #VelodomyZelenskyy is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, #DonaldTrump would lose what's left of his tiny mind. 👍

All this ranting by One Notion has made my teeth grind. The one thing that no one has seemingly pointed out to that mob is that there is somewhere around 90 thousand individuals who aren't Aussies yet are allowed to vote.
Misogyny goes unnoticed? Maybe by you, NPR, but certainly *not* by women.

I would like an alternate universe since this one seems to be some weird type of Hell. Tho a British Bishop postulated that this was Hell which probably explains a few things. A reality governed by whales might be nice?

A group of Australian citizens were kidnapped on international waters and beaten on camera by their captors - Israel Jillian Segal, the most prominent Israel advocate in Australia, has so far said *nothing* about the welfare of her fellow Australian citizens, nor condemned Israel's brutal actions .

As a teacher of English, I can definitively state that yes, this is exactly what happened. Particularly, the curse words. ◡̈
People need to stop whining about Elon Musk's mission to do a Mars fly-by. This is the advancement of science and exploration. In fact, it's so important that we should send our best people. Every billionaire should be sent on a Mars mission. Right now. You know, for the science.
I am currently trolling the biggest nuisance on an open discussion group. I am being civil yet they post things which are distorted or omit certain facts. Up until now I have scrolled past , I decided today that it was becoming annoying so I decided to flame her, politely of course.

The findings in two US court cases should embarrass anyone who claimed Australia’s social media ban was ‘boomer’ moralising A disdain towards the notion of “consequence” somewhat defines the contemporary western moment of the powerful. So two recent US court decisions that are adverse to the interests of – oh my god, would you believe it? – tech companies should be heralded to the full height of every sky.

As awful as this sounds there are days when I think the best thing that could happen is that a number of people in my generation should drop dead. The lack of empathy for anything beyond their own selfishness is disheartening.
“I did not find it hard to understand the emergence of Pauline Hanson from the rugby league stronghold of Ipswich. No one who lived through the Bjelke-Petersen era would be surprised at Hanson’s resonance in regional Australia, especially Queensland.” satpa.pe/a3j09N0
