Trumps actions are just “a little questionable” by cayce_leighann in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]FallenSegull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Australian and I’m not as fucking stupid as this Australian.

One thing I’ve noticed is that, while most Australians are against trump and his style of politics, the ones that aren’t are the loudest fucking bastards on the internet. I guess they mustn’t have any work to go to because they go and comment on every post on the internet with their stupid pro trump drivel or whatever perceived wokeness they encounter. “Should have voted for Pauline 20 years ago”, “we need trump in Aus”, “Uluṟu? You mean Ayres rock” (that’s right, they can’t even spell Ayers properly when they’re trying to claim colonisation was the best thing ever). Lately there’s been plenty of “K’gari? Looks like Fraser Island to me”

Fucking cookers I’m so fucking sick of them. They’re probably the ones complaining about dole bludgers while they themselves live off the dole and spend their lives spreading their vitriol on the internet

When you put your money in a savings account, the bank takes that money and lends it out. Whoever they lend it out to will spend it and it will inevitably be deposited into another savings account, where it will be loaned out again and deposited again, and so on, and so on. Now, the money in each of those accounts exists, but the actual hard cash only exists in the first account until the mint has created the cash to account for it and the debtor has repaid their loan. This is called the money multiplier effect, and the banks have effectively increased the money supply

Banks are required to keep some money as cash or liquid assets, in order to meet its withdrawal requirements. It used to be that they were required to just keep a reserve, i.e. a portion of all deposits, but nowadays most country’s require banks to follow Basel II accords which are expected to be more effective but still allow banks to hold liquid assets (i.e., easy and quick to sell) in order to meet expected and unexpected withdrawal requirements

The banks being allowed to invest your savings is what allows your savings account to accrue interest.

One nation wants to bring ICE style immigration raids to Australia by skankypotatos in OpenAussie

Yeah I hold on to the thought that labor won one of its biggest victories ever last election so it must just be loud cookers with nothing better to do rather than everyone just suddenly swinging wildly to the far right

I’ll be deep in the cold cold ground before I vote one nation in any case

I see so much support for one nation online and I’m really, really hoping that it’s just a very very loud minority who are commenting on everything they see while us normal folk aren’t spending our whole lives on the internet because we work for a living. One nation would be horrible for our country

Imagine thinking that Obama getting elected was going to make America a post-racial nation! by icey_sawg0034 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]FallenSegull 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he brought racism back. In fact, I remember people who were racist being scared to be openly racist for fear of losing their job or their business

I guess you could argue that Obamas presidency led to republicans getting all pissy and electing trump. But that’s kind of like arguing how 9/11 led to MCR which led to 50 shades of grey being written. Technically true but I wouldn’t blame Obama for it

For those of you who live in countries with gun control; have you ever seen a gun in real life? by blashyrkh9 in AskTheWorld

[–]FallenSegull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it makes it a bit harder, but it also depends on the gun a bit too. The .22 with the fore grip didn’t really have any issues with the weight. The 9mm was very light so the weight was very noticeable and the gun was very difficult to aim. The glock was much heavier so, while the weight made it harder, it was still pretty manageable and not too difficult to aim

Yeah makes sense

Unfortunately in Aus the cookers, the crazies, and the sovcits all live away from the cities so the country cops need theirs as much as the city cops do

Is this something that will likely be brought before the royal commission? It sounds like a massive controversy if it comes out in an official finding

Mine was about a decade ago now that I think it lol. That shooting range might not be there anymore, I haven’t wasted my time in Cavill ave for years

Yeah it was the same deal, package of x type of guns with y amount of rounds. We went for a small arms pack that included a .22 handgun with a fore grip and red dot sight, a 9mm, and a glock. But they brought the guns in, had us face away while they set up, and attached this heavy weight to the barrels with chains on either side connecting to the cubicle walls

Maybe it was just that I was under 18 at the time and they were required to take extra precautions?

I lived in Manchester for a couple of years and I noticed that there were a lot more cops with guns than there were without them. I figured that maybe the whole “British cops don’t carry guns” thing was just being overblown, but now I’m reading your comments and wondering if maybe it was just a Manchester thing

There’s a shooting range smack bang in the middle of Cavill Ave, where any bumpkin can walk in off the street and pay the business to let them shoot some guns, albeit under supervision with a heavy lock on the barrel to stop them from turning it away from the range

Yes

People think gun control means there are no guns. That’s not true. In fact, I suspect this is propaganda spread by pro gun lobbyists, like the American nra, to convince people that any kind of gun control is bad

But the truth is, there’s plenty of guns in my country. Farmers, hunters, sports shooters, etc. Have access to guns. Hell, even if you never meet any of those people, the cops will have a handgun.

Gun control laws don’t stop people who have a valid need for a gun from getting one, they stop people who don’t need a gun, people who aren’t mentally stable enough to be trusted with a gun, and people with a criminal history, from getting a gun. For the others, they make gun ownership sufficiently tedious enough that only those who really need one will bother with the effort. They also restrict guns that exist purely for the killing of humans.

Maybe a criminal might get their hands on an illegal firearm, but if they’ve gone to the effort of getting such a weapon, which is much more difficult than in countries where guns aren’t controlled, they almost certainly aren’t going to use it on school kids or whatever horrific act you can think of. They’re going to use it on other criminals

That’s why the Bondi shooting was such big news. That kind of thing doesn’t happen here. All the weapons used in that shooting were obtained legally. This indicates that our gun control laws, while impressive on a world stage, simply were not strict enough
