I can save $400 a week by not eating, can't imagine it'll backfire

Spending is different to showing respect and spending well, if North are managing to outcompete the pies, with our piddling resources at our disposal, so consistently, that's worrying for the pies. The pies should have the best facilities, best soft-cap funded staff, etc, and yet the entire Collingwood AFLW side feels like the pies don't give a fuck (you don't lose captains like this for nothing)

How does it not? I don't see the impacts of seeing Ecuadorian wildlife poached on the ecosystems around me

Responding to anything pro-Labor, including stuff that's obviously true, as if it must be a bot, is itself bot energy, champ

semaj009

Would condemn us to billions more in costs and harms, absolutely insane

From Melbourne, it's fucking fine, if anything it's better having the multiple new roads, level crossing removals, and new train lines. Everyone's acting like living in Victoria is like living in Kandahar or something when actually I (having been to Sydney and Brisbane both in the last month) would much rather live in Melbourne!!!

Was one of the richest cities on Earth for a time, has often been the most livable city on Earth, and currently has the best housing price to lifestyle of any Australian city (even if it's still too high a price to buy housing).

Because barging into indigenous land to find an animal almost certainly driven extinct in Tasmania is fucking 1800s shit

Photos show thylacine, video stills shows dog taxa

What do you mean? Killing all the disabled and non-white people and turning women into baby ovens is entirely the same as wanting to end monarchies, billionaires, and give everyone equally good access to education and living standards!

semaj009

Well, time to change the laws, cos that's unaustralian!

But also I'm confused why jails don't serve Vegemite on toast, for how it doesn't spoil and how little you actually use per buttered slice it seems like inmates eating Vegemite on toast would be a very fucking cost effective for our jails

Define pure breed, it's all selective breeding with either no historical mixing and just straight up selection (rare) or mixtures of breeds eventually settling into a registered breed according to some wanker (most breeds)

Implies each cop will get $4.3mil, maybe I'll sign up

semaj009

They're also planning to cut fuckloads of other services that help support people, driving more people towards crime

Leaving a few massive holes in the ground where infrastructure was started

No he doesn't, Albo could easily speak better than Angus Taylor when it comes down to sounding like an everyday Australian

semaj009

ONP doesn't have multiple seats in the Victorian parliament though

semaj009

I care that the future premier might be a Christian fundamentalist and failed dad avenging nutcase who wants to Americanise our healthcare system (her words)

semaj009

Which is truly insane of them, because they'll be telling the west and north of Melbourne they hate them

semaj009

Sure, but this is an obviously true statement. When Labor didn't do East West Link it had only just been signed off by Napthine in the weeks leading up to the election, no soil had been turned. The suburban rail loop has been literally been an active construction project for years now

semaj009

3 terms in a row, 1 of the Libs making an irreparable mess, another 3 if Labor. Tis the tradition

semaj009

We need permission from rhe government to strike, and it's only given - it you're lucky - once every few years. It's no surprise our cost of living and retirement age is worse than France's

semaj009

Because we're too complacent to fight back, and have fuckloads of exports / fewer people. Our cost of living is already higher than France's, though

semaj009

Her other reasons include making cash and taking ours

They're really not in massive numbers in Melbourne, have you been to Sydney lately? But also like they live here, then they fly back to the Alps every year. They're chill little guys who feed cute as fuck possums (mountain pygmy possums), so why hate them? Just embrace the joy of getting to experience nature before it, as is almost inevitable, disappears in our lifetime
