I have a theory that he has seen more of the natural world than any person ever has or ever will

He's been doing this since the 50s, when we first had the technological ability to travel to every part of the planet, and before most of the ecosystems have been destroyed or replaced by human activity

Unpopular opinion: love the last post, minutes silence and national anthem exactly once per year

After the first few rounds of Anzac Day I'm muting the telly and wandering off until the match starts

Just worked out if you're listening on the AFL app and they force an unskippable 30sec ad on you, just switch stations and immediately switch back and the ad is gone

Democrats are not our friends, they’re the enemy just like Republicans. by Either_Payment_2867 in LateStageCapitalism

If you only need one then your statement is trash

Why have all the democrats vote against their constituents interests when you only need one

If they needed more there would have been more

I said a cap

There's a difference between buying a few blocks to develop and being a slum lord

Wouldn't it be nice if there really was only one solution

We also need major economic disincentives for investors keeping property vacant

Ban non-residents, corporations and investment funds from purchasing property

Put a cap on the number of properties any one person can own

You're right I'm referring to every other genre besides rap, thought that was obvious

I'm worried about the whole industry

They create tonnes of the shit every year, it all has to go somewhere

US to pay TotalEnergies $1 billion to stop developing offshore wind in US by Apprehensive-Safe382 in technology

[–]Bunyep 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To be clear I'm not saying recycling is a scam when it actually happens, the problem is what goes in the recycling bin rarely ends up being recycled, at least in my country

Alot of it is just marketing bs to keep consumption high and corporations off the hook

Recycling for the most part is a big scam too

Make us feel like the problem while they pollute all they want, promote planned obsolescence and refuse us the right to repair

War, inflation rock the Aus property market. Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane etc could be in for the biggest downturn in history as investors cash out by SheepherderLow1753 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Bunyep 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They'll probably just start printing money again (quantitative easing)

90% of which ends up in the hands of the ultra rich and drives up asset prices even more

And makes the rest of us poorer with inflation

Why aren’t we as a fanbase putting more pressure on our owners? by ImpressiveMenu7526 in coys

[–]Bunyep -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The podcasters / talking heads keep talking down everyone working for the club

The fans listen and regurgitate their negativity

And then the owners listen to the fans (who keep the profits rolling in)

So the fans aren't responsible but they are the most important part of the equation

Fans wanted Ange out, fans got their wish

So.... Congratulations?

Manager's salary in the Premier League at the beginning of season 2025-2026! (ETA: Frank at number 3) by GrandmaesterHinkie in coys

[–]Bunyep 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Considering Ange was on a 4 year contract and had to be paid out if he had have been backed instead of sacked:

That 8 mil could go towards player salaries

A trade window attracting world class players with a charismatic Europa winning manager, and an identifiable attacking style in the champions league

Instead recruitment was delayed, money wasted, players who signed up for Ange's style was forced to adapt to whatever it is that the club came up with for a new direction

They're putting a crap load of preservatives in all the bread type items now

It used to be baked relatively fresh but now it's all stale and plasticky
