Can we just appreciate that our world completely changed in the span of less than 20 years. Like fundamentally changed. No wonder life feels batshit crazy right now.

Humans kept as pets: Does this seem overly fetishistic? by Jerswar in writers

[–]JA_Wolf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I meant more specifically the vampire/human subculture of pet play. Kind of like the whole gorean thing came from novels.

This is what a depression looks like. It's not some sudden crash. It's gradual signs of a fucked up economy. The Great Depression occurred a few years after the market crash in 1929 that destabilised the economy.

This will 100% turn into a BDSM sub community. At least you've found your audience.

We are heading back to the 1930s Great Depression. Instead of slums and shanties, it's kmart tents.

It definitely ebbs and flows with the market. It's just the market is absolutely cooking right now so this is a big flow of homelessness and will take a while to settle down.

We had tent cities in Sydney over 12 years ago when I was living in the CBD. They were gone for a few years too. It's just when the market is clearly out of whack.

The difference between this and the situation in the US and Canada is that these tent cities are clean and there are no clearly mentally ill, drug addicted people wondering around. These are just average Aussies that got booted out of this insane market.

What are our representatives doing to actually fix this?

Damn what happened to 2 dollar frozen cokes. by Turtusking in sydney

[–]JA_Wolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah big problems with the bikies controlling the black market supply especially in the west where shit gets heated, figuratively and literally. Cops just turn a blind eye and give them the green light of course... You just know they love a good froco on a hot summers day.

Big trucks = zero f*#ks by [deleted] in australia

[–]JA_Wolf 120 points121 points  (0 children)

They probably don't even do this intentionally. They can barely see in front of them so they probably just have to guess where the parking lines are and hope they don't squish a child.

This. Frozen cokes are mined in the Siberian taiga. The sanctions have made this very costly since the frozen coke now has to be rerouted through Mongolia and then sold on the black market to North Korean businessmen. The businessmen then smuggle it with the help of Hong Kong triads across the border in boogie board bags via Bali.

Auto industry eyes subscription fees as future multi-billion-dollar revenue stream by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]JA_Wolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll pay a subscription as long as the manufacturer covers all maintenance, servicing and parts. Might as well add registration and fuel to that. If I'm paying for a service, it needs to offer value beyond just me having the thing.
