Nah, it’s funny ribbing them over their egotistical exceptionalism. you know they almost named their country freedonia?

Imagine meeting a German who refers to themselves as a Eurasian, cringe shit that is.

We can have a little pogrom against usaians as a treat.

Hnngh hnngh yes yes quite the unwashed masses need to be kept far from power hmm yes Tallyho good man hmm hmm.

Whitlam. No competition, most good things in Australia can be traced to the government under him and very few bad things.

Yeah recency bias is always a thing.

I feel like there’s 3 cool users I enjoy talking to on aussie.zone.

The mainstream culture in aus is pretty conservative and reactionary though, usual for postcolonial settler state :|

I would also add the subtly that this question:

On the whole, are you very satisfied, fairly satisfied, not very satisfied, or not at all satisfied with the way democracy works in Australia?

Is not “do you want more or less democracy?”. We only nominally have a democracy, we can’t for example fire a government (non violently) that broke all it’s promises. We can’t force certain bills to be presented or not, we can’t directly vote on any issue, our workplaces are almost exclusively dictatorial. Even within the system we have defects like the popular vote to seat count being completely whack because of single member seats in the lower house (very unusual among democracies).

Saying you are dissatisfied could mean you’re an authoritarian dickwad, but so could saying you’re satisfied. People who want more democracy, lots of citizen involvement, and more accurate representation of the people are not against democracy but would also say they’re very unsatisfied. I mean society is getting measureably worse while we careen into a global crisis of apocalyptic proportions, who the fuck things this is working?

Anything veganism (positive)

Hope each of you are happy about the dead horses

Been sick as a dog, caught something visiting my nibblings. Coughing fits and fatigue like nothing else.

Careful out there, couldn’t get out of bed for a week! Something nasty is going around. BTW, after pholcodeine got pulled because sudden deaths with anaesthesia, if you’re looking for an effective anti tussive that isn’t DXM based (I get terrible nausea) then “rikodeine” is OTC and dihydrocodeine based. Unfortunately because it crosses the BBB it’s sedating like DXM, but more pleasant.

Or you opened pycharm (ಥ﹏ಥ) 5 gigs of RAM is fairly audacious for a single program :/

Everything looks rainbow whenever I sit down at my computer but I thought I bought a non lgbt led case.

I guess this explains it.

This was inevitable and forseen.

Realistically recreational drugs can’t be priced out of existence. Stuff like plain packaging is fantastic, more funding to help addicts quit would be good (e.g. naltrexone pbs trials) would be nice.

At a certain point you just have to accept not getting 100% of people off them, and recreational drugs are the place for a government monopoly so there’s no profit incentive to undermine cessation efforts.

the military industrial complex promoting militarisation? Now I’ve seen everything.

This account seems to only post news stories critical of the Chinese government, I only noticed after the three posted here in such a short time.

That’s not a comment on their accuracy, just be aware the poster is deliberately spreading propaganda with a very narrow focus.

See 4Chan, the_donald, gamersriseup etc. If pretending to be fash is the joke you can’t remove actual fash.

I don’t browse all much but when I do I see “jokes” about how killing people is cool and good if the government that claims dominion over you says that the government that claims dominion over them is the enemy.

NCD is a disgusting community anyway. You’re not missing much

I dunno, byd has some pretty ‘budget’ entries for sale elsewhere.

what does this have to do with what my wife and I would want?
