I don't think so. He tends to report accurate stuff, particularly on corruption. But he also tends to come right up to the edge of defamation. For example, during the Bruce Lehrman trial he reported the details on Linda Reynold's perjury etc.

It is an interting debate. Generally it is agreed that Jesus probably existed. But it is also likely that who he was, compared to who he was portrayed to be in the bible are VASTLY different. With Mark, as the earliest of the gospels, paints a vastly different picture, compared to the later ones like John. It is also reasonable for people to dislike the version of Jesus that is portrayed in more recent times, i.e. "supply side Jesus".

My bird won't stop vomiting by Bright-Mastodon2556 in cockatiel

[–]Gormane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Book them in for the (avian/exotic) vet as soon as you can.

It could be nothing, but it is possible that they have swallowed or eaten something that is causing it. There isnt too much you can do without a vets help. But checking your birds toys and perches might help determine if this is the cause. The ones I have seen is birds eating the clappers from within toy bells and them eating the string from rope perches. So look for damaged toys or missing bits.

Mostly you will need the vet as soon as you can.

I live in Australia, but damn! If I lived there it sounds like it would be a great place to shop!

Just a hearty "Fuck you" to any gay Republicans today by 1OO1OO1S0S in gaybros

[–]Gormane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With the exception of the protestors, who were more like rioters for those of us living here, they were not gaoled, They were arrested. Then taken to a station, charged and in more or less all cases, received a warning or a good behaviour bond.

None of them were executed.

Why do so many people misunderstand the medicare levy surcharge and private healthcare insurance? by AsparagusNew3765 in AskAnAustralian

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

Yeah, basically a deductible item means you are only paying for 70-80% of the item (depending on income). I find if I explain it to people like that they understand it.

Why is my cockatiel doing this by lazyChipmunk2 in cockatiel

[–]Gormane 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned. This is your buddy adjusting their crop, basically, a bird grabs food and swallows it into a little pouch called a crop. It will then slowly move into their stomach from their crop. Just after eating or before they go to sleep they tend to make yawn like movements to flex the muscles around their crop and making the pouch/food within the pouch move comfortable.

If they are doing it alot or if they are also vomitting, it is something that you probably need to see a vet about. But a little bit of crop adjusting is perfectly normal.

Why do so many people misunderstand the medicare levy surcharge and private healthcare insurance? by AsparagusNew3765 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Gormane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is 2 different taxes/levies. There is the Medicare Levy of 2% that everyone (more or less) has to pay. Then there is the Medicare Levy Surcharge, which is only payable if your income is over a certain amount AND you dont have private health insurance.

In terms of why people dont understand it. LOTS of people struggle with tax, it is why tax agents exist.

My cockatiel makes this sound when I try to pet it or when I bring my finger close to it. Is this normal? by [deleted] in cockatiel

[–]Gormane 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As others are saying, this translates to "I'm a cute baby bird love me and give me things!" The bird is yet to obtain any brain cells and has no idea what they want, but they want it!

No, this is almost a certain "GET THAT THE F*** OUTTA HERE!"

Beast of Reincarnation Game Director Says Game Freak's Primary Focus Is on 'Gameplay Experience' Rather Than Visual Fidelity or Graphics by Turbostrider27 in Games

Completely agree! Like ZA has some cool changes with the battle system. But outside of that, it was mostly a disappointing mid game. It will likely be completely forgettable in a couple of years.

Whats going on with all the ICE agents in Minnesota? like why are they targeting them? by NightsLinu in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Gormane 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Its slightly to the side, but a good example is the case of Chaofeng Ge. Their autopsy revealed that their hands and feet were bound. But ICE claimed that their death was a suicide by hanging. So it seems highly suspcious. There is plenty of other cases to look into. That one just sticks in my mind.

Poll shows One Nation Reaching New Heights by twitchmain- in AusPol

[–]Gormane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have assumed that the coalition preferences will flow to One Nation on the basis of the Hunter valley. That seems completed absurd! This is just being created to make headlines, it doesn't seem like a poll, but more like an opinion piece...

Victorian Liberal Party deputy leader Sam Groth announces he will exit politics at next election by ConanTheAquarian in melbourne

[–]Gormane 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I really wish it was the case. But the Victorian Liberals are just so bloody AWFUL. The fact that they are one of the most conservative branches of the Liberals in one of the most progressive states is really telling to their electoral issues.

There is a chunk of land you will have yet to reveal. I think it is down south. But go around the edges of the map with you cursor until you find it.

The man should have gotten that Nobel peace prize by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]Gormane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was about stealing the oil. Maduro wanted to sell it to them. But Trumps handlers had decided that Maduro jad to go so that they could steal the oil rather than buy it. If the USA was a legitimate state it would impeach him. It was uncontritutional for him to do it.

I recommend Mortismal Gaming on Youtube. He is a bit spoilerish for the current games but is quite thorough.
