🫡 Edit: such a missed opportunity, since you can both say it back to each other

Wait until Tremp finds out all digital services now need to charge GST in Australia (10%) since like 10 years ago.

Some of you are. Another portion is in poverty, another is apathetic, and another is straight up cheering him along.

Considering what’s happening to the rule of law, the first group is far too small.

We’re counting on you, wishing you godspeed from the provinces.

I hate how we (Australia) are so closely tied to a country that is speed-running the late Roman republic.

It’s all there, a “democratic” system run by the wealthy, for the wealthy, physical intimidation of voters and politicians, a rigged voting system, ignoring the law for the benefit of a populist leader promising to deliver the masses from the corrupt establishment.

How many times per day does your boyfriend think of the Roman Empire?

Recently, surely dozens

Can the supreme court just straight up ignore the constitution, under the constitution?

Surely no, right?

Perhaps once you get preferential voting in, then primaries won’t be as necessary.

They’re not a big thing here (Australia), because most people aren’t party members, and each party has various methods of choosing candidates.

I’m just out here proselytising for preferential voting (for single member elections, that is).

Good on the new york democrats for using it at a party level 👍👍👍

My 5D chess move would be:

• Go: ok bet, you wanna shut it down? Your stores are now in immediate administration under some eminent domain law
• In order to mitigate political backlash, make it known that they’re able to sell their business to someone else, or the city, provided that the subsequent owner is bound to either run it, or sell it to the city

Watch them get mad because you haven’t technically seized it, they can still sell the business (maintaining the sacrosanct rights to private property capitalists love so much), you’ve just prevented them from closing it down, and everyone gets to keep their jobs :)

If I were near the equator: is this a joke I’m too 0° lat to understand?

Oh my apologies, I thought we were talking about the number of lanes.

Yeah the traffic here looks photoshopped, though, I’d be willing to bet there are times where this freeway almost looks like this*

*Statement based on vibes, not actual evidence

Iran’s theocratic regime aside (which the US is largely responsible for creating), why exactly are the US (and a handful of other countries) somehow more worthy of having nukes than others?

It’s some bullshit if you ask me.

The question of “do we really want X country having nukes?” seems to come off as: “it’s okay for country Y (the US) to have nukes”.

I for one, am not a fan of anyone having nukes, but if we’re not planning on getting that number to zero, not sure how it’s justified to say a certain country doesn’t deserve them, other than maybe North Korea who are completely unhinged, but how can we draw the line? The USA is literally just committing acts of war because they’ve unilaterally decided that Iran has nukes, without evidence, and that means they’re justified in doing pre-emptive strikes.

I don’t think any country is ever justified in pre-emptively striking another without extremely strong evidence.

I’m thoroughly unconvinced that any war the US has fought other than World War II has been justified.

Go count them for yourself (or just search Katy Freeway into Google maps and turn on satellite view if you don’t want to click this link)

The number of lanes is insane

Should be at least streamed to a server not controlled by the police, including things like charge levels so they can’t claim “oh whoops, it ran out of charge!”. A specific organisation within the judiciary, perhaps?

This way they’re gonna need to get far more creative in concealing video.

And if you’re found to do something that is concealing evidence, well that’s a crime by itself

Surely Trump could have ignored them, as an official act of course.

This is only the case for cheaper models. There are models with inverters that actually run at lower power.

I am like original commenter, I gotta turn down the power because my microwave is a deadly lazer (1200 W)

Everytime there’s piss on the seat or the floor I just think: who the fuck are these people and do they do this in their own house?

Like, go use the urinal, why you gotta ruin the seat?

And if it’s an accident, at least wipe up after yourself!

Probably whoever was writing this in plain text didn’t know about the superscript numbers in unicode ³.

Somehow I’ve seen it written as cum multiple times in my line of, and never registered it haha

Context is a hell of a drug

This is great, meane she’s giving the game stakes too

Gentleman vs Gentleperson

Seems like a legit substitution to me

I like using “gentle people”.

Would the gentle person care for some more wine?

Works for all genders

I’d suspect it’s a water safety thing, not wanting to drink stagnant water right next to their “kill”. The cats I’ve had have always preferred drinking running water in the bath

This is but a hypothesis, though
