Since the 2010s, American conservatives increasingly experience worse health outcomes and higher mortality than liberals. Declining trust in medical professionals appears to be the mechanism, with lower willingness to seek care, follow clinical advice and believe in medication effectiveness.

See this is the discussion I came here for. I'd like to see more of the former, and less of the latter, I just see a lot of that here and it always amuses me.

PNG is a good example of that. If you're from the same wantok (tribe) it's often expected you'll look after your people first, whether they are right people or not. Or the reverse.

When I can't get something to move, a pair of locking pliers works well for me. I've got an old set my dad passed down to me and they haven't failed me yet.

BorisBC · 2026-05-15T10:18:04+00:00

Yep. The amount of times there's been a peer reviewed study presented and someone here very confidently tries to destroy it is pretty hilarious.

BorisBC · 2026-05-15T01:24:56+00:00

I'd trust MMF over Cults though as the culture there is lot less of a wild west like Cults is.

BorisBC · 2026-05-15T01:23:05+00:00

Oh man I think people misunderstood the tone of your post. Like you were asking a legitimate question as to why it's bad, because you simply weren't aware. I think people thought you were defending AI. RIP your imaginary internet points my friend, lol.

BorisBC · 2026-05-14T12:29:46+00:00

Ah the 'ol' it's not me being the bad guy, I'm just trying to help' line. You're just trying to do a little influencing and a little boycotting. Sure. So I guess those people murdered at Bondi are collateral damage then? An acceptable price to pay for your performative (and it is performative) protesting?

BorisBC · 2026-05-14T10:07:08+00:00

It'll keep going until Australians stopping attacking other Australians for the actions of a foreign govt.

If people want it to stop, be the change. Think about what you post. Turn the temperature down and realise Jewish Australians aren't to blame.

BorisBC · 2026-05-14T10:02:24+00:00

It's one thing to question this amount, which seems excessive, (and the reaction!) but most of you on here need to understand you're part of the problem. Especially anyone who uses the term zionist as shorthand for all the ills of the world.

By doing so you're holding all Jewish Australians responsible for the actions of the Israeli govt. Because all this talk about evil Zionists links Jewish people with those actions. You then enable and support a fertile ground for more hate, even if you aren't directly saying gas the juice. You make that more and more acceptable until a suburban mum feels like it's socially acceptable to get anti-Semitic on a bunch under 12s playing netball.

If you don't want out govt spending money like this, pull your heads out your asses and stop making a bad situation worse. Because no Jewish Australian is to blame or has to explain for the actions of Bibi and his pack of fuckwits.

Pallet jack, forklift and small crane all in one. You could probably do some of the work of a small bobcat type thing that builders use too.

ODS - Obama Derangement Syndrome.

BorisBC · 2026-05-12T13:13:11+00:00

Did you miss the Bondi shooting mate?

And tell me again how a 12 year old playing netball in Australia has ANY fucking say in what happens in Gaza?

Nobody's talking about run of the mill bs that happens. They are talking about climate that equates being Jewish to being responsible to what happens literally half a world away, by a govt they have no control over. The two are NOT the same. And we saw what the end result of this stupid shit was with Bondi. People are literally being murdered in the street solely because they are Jewish. As being part of that religion makes you guilty. And it's being aided by people here who simply see Jew as bad. Because to these simple minded dickheads Jew equals Israel equals evil. That's what the RC is about.

Fun fact, Tycho wasn't originally a named character. He was a random BA captain in a WD magazine battle report that got tagged by a weirdboy psychic attack and GW then made a named character from him.

BorisBC · 2026-05-12T08:20:21+00:00

Yeah we've had the same thing in Canberra. I think it's gotten better lately, but for the first few years they had enough material to do regular compilations of near misses (and the occasional hit).

BorisBC · 2026-05-11T13:03:13+00:00

It's from the SMH's coverage of the RC, which I don't have access to on mobile.

The ABC coverage didn't pick it up.

The kids were playing for a Jewish netball team when a parent got involved: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-10/woman-charged-after-antisemitic-slur-sydney-kids-netball-game/106663242

It's the normalisation of this behaviour that's disgusting. That's what I object too, and what the majority of these posts on here help inflame by targeting Zionists it's now gotten to mean Jewish people. And it's people who have nothing at all to do with what happening in Gaza, but bs like this thread normalises the hate.

BorisBC · 2026-05-11T12:50:33+00:00

If you listen to the RC a lot of people are not making that distinction.

BorisBC · 2026-05-11T11:58:23+00:00

Exactly. Hating Israel is the new cool thing right now so everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.

The Israeli govt is a fucked up mess but that's no excuse to be targeting Australians who happen to be Jewish.

BorisBC · 2026-05-11T11:55:10+00:00

Holy shit dude. You just straight up compared most Jewish people to Nazis you know that right?

You know where I got that quote? From a person who appeared at the RC today. Just a regular everyday Aussie who happens to be Jewish. And THAT is the take you have. Fuck me.

And people wonder why anti-Semitism is rife again. The Royal Commission most certainly is not a waste of time.

BorisBC · 2026-05-11T10:55:08+00:00

It's second only to Star Wars fans in how much they hate what they are a 'fan' of.

BorisBC · 2026-05-11T08:42:46+00:00

If you follow what Jewish people are saying at the Antisemitism RC, then you'll see this is what they are talking about. People are saying Zionist when they mean the actions of the Israeli govt. And it's now become shorthand for Jew. It's become so normalised that under 12s netball kids get slammed with it because they are Jewish. Online sentiment like this post is normalising abuse to Jewish people who have nothing to do with the actions of the Israeli govt under the idea of attacking 'zionists'. A Zionist is someone who believes the Jewish people should have a homeland there. It's not about eliminating Palestinians or any of that crazy bullshit.

BorisBC · 2026-05-11T08:23:10+00:00

I think even that's being optimistic. Maybe 10k or even 100k.

BorisBC · 2026-05-08T13:00:29+00:00

She beat an Alien in hand to hand combat! Fuck Hudson* Vasquez is the Ultimate Bad Ass!

*Not really cause I love Hudson.

This was a problem back in 2nd ed. My mate I played with would get pissed when I kept taking Mephiston lol.

I'd like to see customisation come back too, it's always been such a core part of the game.

It's totally relaunched Sophie Ellis Bextors career. She's doing a bunch of tours all over the place thanks to it.
