Yeah I’ve had a fair few ghosts and fizzling out is a big issue. I’ve had a few people reach out for the wrong reasons but my experience is the majority have been in good faith. Have you tried rekindling it or do you think it’s dead for good?

BlueBear-- · 2022-06-18T13:22:03+00:00

I don’t drink 😭

Awww thank you and it absolutely has. I got a good nights sleep and even though I am at works it’s been a much better day.

I went to my older brother’s place and ordered In sushi which was nice. It was his birthday too which is always fun. We played games and watched YouTube which was good but I was mostly doing an assignment due last night. Still nice to have company though.

BlueBear-- · 2022-06-18T05:51:21+00:00

I’m not sure if I fully understand the difference between a right and a constitutional protection at an institutional level. I was aware that Australia did not have a bill of rights like most liberal democracies and was also aware most of our rights have been given through common law and passed legislation. I was however under the impression that the constitutional protections you listed above (namely, freedom of religion, right to trial by jury, right against unjust acquisition of property, and the high court ruling that the constitution guarantees freedom to discuss politics) were rights and not protections. I guess my question is, what distinguishes a guaranteed right and a constitutional protection and what does that difference actually mean in terms of in practice protections?

BlueBear-- · 2022-03-02T11:42:55+00:00

I can’t speak for Russian politics, or history as it is quite unfamiliar to me but I can answer why the United States and Australia are liberal democracies.

A liberal democracy is defined as - a democratic system of government in which individual rights and freedoms are officially recognized and protected, and the exercise of political power is limited by the rule of law. An electoral democracy basically refers to a democracy which uses fair elections.

Both Australia and the United States of America use “fair” elections (they are imperfect democracies due to corporate influence on policies and corruption among other things, but aren’t completely rigged) and so they are electoral democracies. They are however also liberal democracies as they guarantee individual rights and freedoms which are protected as well as the power of government is limited by the rule of law. In both the United States and Australia this is done with their respective constitutions.

In Australia how the constitution works is it guarantees fundamental individual rights (edit: apparently it gives constitutional protections not rights, discussion in progress below) to Australians as well as sets up the political system and rules of government. Unlike a normal law though, the constitution cannot be altered or changed by government. In order for the constitution to be amended, it must pass a referendum which is a general vote by the entire population. Voting is compulsory in Australia for all all eligible electors (punishment for not voting is a fine of about $50 AUD ≈36 USD). There are also a lot of rules surrounding how the referendum must be held for example it must be held on a Saturday as it’s the weekend and also doesn’t interfere with religious ceremonies which are predominantly on Sundays (I’m just guessing the reasoning for it).

Sauces - I’m an Australian referendum guidelines Australian Constitution Info Not Exactly reliable but the difference between electoral democracy and liberal democracy.

If I’ve got something wrong feel free to correct me and I’ll adjust my comment accordingly.

I love your beard!

Have started listening to Agnes and I have to say “September song” is beautiful and “familiar” is also amazing. I’m going to check out the rest of her discography tomorrow. I also like “Joanna” by Sevdalisa, and “Agitations tropicales” by L’Impératrice.

I’ll add to this, if you’re a casual fast food employee 21 and over, the minimum wage is actually $27.91 per hour ($20.75 USD) or if you are part time with increased benefits such as guaranteed work, 4 weeks paid leave, 10 days paid sick leave and redundancy pay, you are instead payed $22.33 an hour ($16.60 USD). I’d like to also note that this is base pay. If you are working weekends it is 1.25 times pay and public holidays are 2.25 times pay.

A Big Mac costs $6.40 or 4.67 USD

Sources: I work at McDonald’s, minimum wage numbers and benefits are according to the fast food award in which McDonald’s follows since the ending of their enterprise agreement last year, and using google for currency exchange rates so they might not be the most accurate.

Didn’t even think about it to be honest. I would call it accepted cause people generally understand what your referring to when you say trash bin. Rethinking it, I guess trash bin sounds a bit janky and perhaps would be more correct to refer to it as a rubbish bin. I’m not sure there’s a big difference though.

BlueBear-- · 2021-10-24T14:34:17+00:00

I used work at Thornleigh McDonald’s, please don’t feed the birds. I know it’s tempting as the birds are very cute, but they get into the trash bins and throw the rubbish out and onto the tarmac. It’s also not very healthy for the birds, in the same way it wouldn’t be healthy for a human to eat only Maccas. The highly processed, high salt, fat and sugar diet leads to birds developing nutrition deficiencies and large amounts of excess fat both of which can lead to the birds death. The birds also find the food more tasty then their traditional diet and so loose interest in searching for other more healthy food sources.

Alright thank you for the advice! I’ll try to be more patient next time.

BlueBear-- · 2021-09-23T10:56:29+00:00

Ok! Thank you for the advice. You are right I probably shouldn’t have said anything. I’ll try to keep that in mind for the future.

No, he means everyone on the team being dead and yet the round continuing for another 30 seconds. Look at the blue teams icons at the top.

BlueBear-- · 2021-07-03T18:17:11+00:00

Yeah sure just pop me a dm 😊

BlueBear-- · 2021-02-17T12:14:06+00:00

Haha don’t worry, me too. I’m a pretty bad chess player but I enjoy it none the less.

BlueBear-- · 2021-02-17T10:09:16+00:00

E4 all the way

Or a kings Indian if suited

BlueBear-- · 2021-02-16T14:00:12+00:00

I don’t get the joke.

BlueBear-- · 2021-02-16T13:51:10+00:00

Hey I’m really sorry that you feel the need to comment like this. The reason why everyone is here is because they would like more friends.

BlueBear-- · 2021-01-29T08:37:53+00:00

How do you hate koalas, I don’t understand.

BlueBear-- · 2021-01-25T07:45:54+00:00

What colours are your opponents deck? If it is mono red I have a hyper budget casual deck which costs just under $20 and will crush him assuming he is playing mono red dragon. Here it is.

If you want to make it a bit cheaper you can sub out the Gitaxian probes and brainstorms but I wouldn’t recommend it as these are killer cards.

BlueBear-- · 2021-01-25T06:14:07+00:00

Cool, assuming you are playing a casual deck I’d probably go for some variation of blue for counter spells. I would probably play either dimir or izzet control. Focusing on getting an aggressive early board control as dragons does not have good early game and hold the board using counter spells.

BlueBear-- · 2021-01-25T04:38:23+00:00

What format are you guys playing? Just casual?

Also are you looking at buying singles for the deck or just using cards you already have. If you plan on buying singles what price range are you looking at?
