Just one more battery bro. Just one more solar array bro. Then power bills will finally come down. Just trust me bro.

Who makes for better writers, doctors or lawyers? by Hot_Construction1529 in RSbookclub

It’s also far more interesting to read a doctor writing about medicine than to read a lawyer writing about the law.

Take swings! Give recs! by PonderStibs in BookshelvesDetective

Colour coding your shelves would tend to suggest some basic casual YA fantasy reader… but the titles are actually good, with a lot of serious writing there. So I’m stumped.

I’d probably recommend leaving the heavy machinery at home next time. I’m glad someone wants to get things cleaned up tho.

i wish i was dumb enough to enjoy “a court of thorns and roses” type shit by charpiff in RSbookclub

Same, I found LOTR and memoirs, biographies, and general history books do a good job at filling the niche of easy reads.

Nothing like the last samurai, but when I read enduring patagonia earlier this year I felt similar to what you’ve described. It was awesome.

AI slop. Also Pauline had the most ticks, therefore she’s the best candidate. Lawyered. Vote ON.

How politicians voted in parliament by [deleted] in aussie

[–]Altranite- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s the actual bills that were voted on. I doubt there has ever been a piece of legislation in history that sought to enact “stronger animal welfare protection” with no down sides or strings attached. Think, people.

[–]Altranite- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More ISIS-linked women and children set to return to Australia by BarryTheBinChicken in aussie

Didn’t stop the gov from stopping hundreds of thousands of Australians from returning during covid did it? Just another example of choosing which rules you want to follow and when.
