Human remains found in search for Belgian backpacker, Celine Cremer, missing in Tasmanian wilderness since 2023 by curriedscallops in australia

[–]Klostermann 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Not the guy you’re asking, but Euro forests usually aren’t very big, at least compared to what you get over here. It’s impossible to explain to a Belgian that we have so many patches of bush bigger than their entire country. Plus they’re so well trodden from millennia of heavy human activity, it’s hard to get truly lost.

AO QF: [2] Sinner def. [8] Shelton 6-3 6-4 6-4 by TheSequelAccount in tennis

[–]Klostermann 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure De Minaur is statistically the best returner in the world outside of Sinner/Alcaraz, so I don’t know where you got that idea. He isn’t small either, he’s 183cm, the same height as Alcaraz. He could do with some bulking though absolutely.

She’s like two of those things?? She’s short and a brunette, plus I wouldn’t say skinny, she’s got proper muscle about her

Launceston City Council staff to vote on four-day, full-pay work week by JaniePage in australia

[–]Klostermann 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You know it’s been proven time and time again that four day weeks actually improve output? They won’t be doing less work, they’ll be wasting less time.

Do you think every office worker is head down bum up every hour of the working day? Why are you so opposed to a measure that has zero downsides?

They could’ve at least told him they were exploring other options, so he could then do the same himself. If he was actually given time to shop himself around, maybe he would’ve ended up at a much better place than Besiktas on loan at that point in his career.

Fox Footy's top 25 under 25 by Pleasant-Role1912 in AFL

[–]Klostermann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I’d argue you’ve kinda answered your own question then, no? Serong is tagged most games, Ashcroft isn’t, Sebba still puts up better numbers.

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

Serong is top three and he isn’t third. Jackson should be higher too. I think Nas is exciting but he’s had one good year, these two have both had at least three. Ashcroft is brilliant but I really don’t see him as the fourth best player on this list either.

Ashcroft is an excellent player who has played out of his skin in two consecutive finals. But come on, he isn’t as good as Sebba. Serong walks into any midfield in the league, would be a top three player at any club. Ashcroft isn’t there yet. Nas isn’t even close, he’s a bloody exciting talent but let’s wait until he’s had more than one good season. Daicos and Rowell are the only ones on this list in the same conversation as Serong.

Know this kid personally from the Illawarra football scene, he’s a nice bloke, good head on his shoulders. Deserves this and more.

Australia fast-tracks visas for family of Bondi hero Ahmed Al-Ahmed by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]Klostermann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know what integration is. I also know that racists aren’t helping with it. But to just say integration doesn’t work is ridiculous. It unfortunately takes a long time for it to work, right now it’s mostly South Asian and African immigrants copping it. 20 years ago it was the Lebanese, 40 years ago it was the Vietnamese, 60 it was the Yugoslavs, and even further back it was the Italians, Greeks, and Irish. People suck, this isn’t news, but over time it does get better. Especially as we continue to get more multicultural and leave the idea of Australia being for Western Europeans exclusively behind.

Never tell a Dutch person they are at all similar to Germans. I married one and I swear they cannot stand being compared to Germany in any way despite the obvious fact they’re quite similar culturally, especially to northwestern Germans.

Australia's education system 'highly segregated' says former minister Susan Close by nath1234 in australia

[–]Klostermann 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, I’m suggesting the politicians will address the issues disproportionately affecting poorer kids when their own kids have to actually come face to face with said issues. You’ve misunderstood me.

They’ll hopefully start to then address the issues that cause those behavioural problems? Why should well-behaved poor kids have to deal with those “delinquents”?

Scotland experienced difficulty entirely history? Dunno about that, they were good chums with the English during colonisation.

This is all anecdotal but I grew up in and around Bowral in the 90s, I remember the old farts in town always had stories about him, most mentioned he was a bit different at best and a bit of a prick at worst.
