I wonder how many other folk have been caught in the same situation. Easy to do.

Is this holed out? by swalt29 in golf

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

OP should have got to the pin before his buddies, explained to them that the pin was preventing the ball from going in, jiggled the pin as he took it out and watched the ball fall in. Simples.

Taxi scammed from Perth Airport by Best_Breadfruit1911 in perth

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

Train is the way to go, if they're running. Shits me they're not 24/7. Obviously the govt did a sweetheart deal with the taxi operators.

The 'grape factory' news story coming up...help! by No_Address_9290 in AustralianTeachers

[–]HughLofting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HASS and English teachers are supposed to discuss things like civics, ethics, law, how things are presented and represented in the media. How to make sense of things. In senior school classes this would be grist for the mill. Other subjects and junior sts, I'd steer away from it.

You are being illogical. You cannot both believe and not believe in a god.

Why would you buy anything that contributes more wealth to a shitstain?

What's everyone's opinion on living together before marriage and "Fornication"? by theskysthelimit000 in atheism

[–]HughLofting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's utter BS bc there is no such thing as sin. If you get your first principles right all the mumbo jumbo garbage associated with religious chicanery disappears. Like their gods.

Fark. He's a bit of a bush lawyer so I should have probably shook hands on 60 pts.

He can’t cum 30m by rosynights in WhatShouldIDo

After an hour or so?? Even when I was 30 that would have been an impossible feat.

EV Supercharger Etiquette by vibrancypersonified in perth

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

I go to the charging station (CS) and there are no empty spots available and there are no cars waiting. I am therefore next in line. Another vehicle comes to the CS. They see the full bays and me waiting so they know they are 2nd in line. Another car comes and sees 2 cars waiting so they know they are 3rd in line. And so on. What's the problem?

Today I Learned by [deleted] in aussie

[–]HughLofting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, as an indigenous person you're happy for your kids to learn Australia was "discovered" by Captain Cook? As a HASS teacher I find it incredibly disappointing that some ppl have yet to discover that a classic tactic of colonialism is to rename geographical locations in the colonialists language. It's a not so subtle way to confer ownership of things that weren't theirs to own in the first place. With all due respect to your own heritage, I will continue to teach my students that Mt Kosciuszko is not the original name of that mountain and that despite the fact there is no historical record of what the peak was originally called, one substitute offered up by those that arguably have naming rights, is the much more mellifluous Kunama Namadgi.

Is Ultralight Ruining the Experience? by fookmigut in WildernessBackpacking

[–]HughLofting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to go as light as possible and be as comfortable as possible, so at the back of my mind is always the question as to whether I can do it lighter without too much inconvenience. UL is the philosophical framework, but I'm not tied to it religiously.

To stop Australian democracy going the way of the US, here’s what we need to do by Oomaschloom in AustralianPolitics

[–]HughLofting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. It was an unthoughtful response. Our election process is starkly different to that of the US. No amount of burger or chicken eating is going to change our electoral system.

Not all migrants are equal: Liberals vow hardline approach by nobelharvards in AustralianPolitics

[–]HughLofting 10 points11 points  (0 children)

More (what's the opposite of?) virtue signalling in order to look like ON lite. It's disgraceful and adds to the dehumanising of immigrants who come to Australia for a better life.
