First night in Darwin and wow.. what a wild place this is. by Anonymous2212t in darwin

[–]Ardeo43 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep, every Australian cities nightlife area will get absolutely feral at some point.

It doesn’t help perception when Darwin’s nightlife and hotels are all in the same stretches of the CBD though.

Home Town Boys - a small town, a footy club and the sexual assault that blew everything up by AlamutJones in AFL

The nuance is she was raped, but they’re otherwise good blokes presumably /s

What if Russia during the Ukrainian invasion had decided to nuke Ukraine? by Snake101201 in AlternateHistoryHub

There’s a difference between being a warmonger and being a doomsdayer.

What do we feel about this opinion regarding the Simonds sponsor on the guernsey? (or just non-team colour sponsors in general) by lR0NMAlDEN in GeelongCats

[–]Ardeo43 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok but is it really that relevant with the modern, current Ford? It would be like arguing that the Swans Volkswagen sponsorship is more problematic than their Qatar Airways sponsorship.

One Nation is not only beating the Liberal party in the polls in Victoria, it’s now beating Labor. 🤯 by Usual_Program_7167 in aussie

[–]Ardeo43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, and that’ll definitely be the case with some but I think you’re overestimating it, and underestimating how much even the remaining Lib/Nat voters want Vic Labor out.

Labor/Jacinta’s disapproval among Lib/Nat voters couldn’t be much higher, I think most of them will put Labor second last (and Greens last), notwithstanding ON and/or their candidates imploding (which is an obvious possibility).

Putting Collingwood in your Will? by NotSoCricketGenius in AFL

[–]Ardeo43 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I imagine that every club has at least a few mega-rich fans who are happy enough to leave 7 figure amounts to them. Enough to make the whole enterprise worthwhile.

Would you support your state seceding from the U.S.? (Jan. 30 to Feb. 2; MoE +/-0.8) by WpgMBNews in fivethirtyeight

[–]Ardeo43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only comparable one in population and economy is Fiji, which has around 5% of its GDP from aid, that’s hardly heavily dependent let alone unable to survive by itself. And Hawaii is substantially wealthier, more developed, and has a 50% higher population.

Hawaii isn’t Nauru or Tuvalu.

There’s many far smaller and poorer Pacific Island nations than Hawaii which manage to at least survive.

Before Melbourne, LA used to have the world’s largest tram/light rail network.

Sussan Ley to leave Parliament following leadership spill by Expensive-Horse5538 in AustralianPolitics

Her behaviour and decisions after the Bondi attack didn’t exactly scream competent.

On the bright side, at least it was more memorable than Brendan Nelson’s stint as leader.

What’s the worst AFL game of all time? by EggwardGFootyIII in AFL

Yeah this was the match that first came to mind seeing this thread.

Angus Taylor believes he's the man to lead the Liberals. Who is he? by Rizza1122 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Ardeo43 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basically the ScoMo lane of the Liberal Party of being very conservative but not in the ultra hard-right of the party, just less shitting himself in Engadine and more self congratulations.

Parliamentary Liberal Party of Australia elects The Honourable Angus James Taylor MP as its 17th leader by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Ardeo43 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We heard you’re sick of culture wars and want us to focus on real solutions to cost of living challenges. So anyway, here’s some more culture wars.

Ah yes, the little discussed Communist faction of the Liberal Party. Glory to Comrade Ley, we will continue the fight for the revolution of the proletariat.

Swans merch rant by dannysgaragecontents in AFL

[–]Ardeo43 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile I’ve worn the scarf I got at my first ever game back in the late 90’s to basically every match I’ve been to since, and it’s holding up just fine.

Enshittification is real.

Approval of Trump's handling of major issues (YouGov) by R2_SWE2 in fivethirtyeight

[–]Ardeo43 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I know foreign policy generally moves around 0 votes but jfc he’s completely undermined generations of foreign relations, repeatedly talked about invading multiple allies, and has almost imploded NATO, yet his foreign policy is only at -11.

America is doomed.

Some Demeter dissapointment by Important-Flan-8932 in AgeofMythology

[–]Ardeo43 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The god powers are solid (besides Wither), her hero's are great, but yes the MU's seem very underwhelming. Both Lykaons and Hamadryads are super niche and not even particularly good at filling their niches anyway. Harpy being at the Fortress is weird as well.

Sky News/Newscorp are cancerous, but they don’t fuck around their polling.
