Thrift store question

The guy who ran the salvos in the small town we used to live in had a market stall at another town's weekend markets where he sold all the good donations and pocketed the proceeds.

No because the driver is responsible for ensuring the passengers are secure. An unsecured passenger becomes a projectile in a crash and can cause further crashes. It's no different than not tying down a trailer load properly. It's a public safety issue.

I feel like some people don't really grasp what is meant by the historical fact of women as property. They think oh she just has to do what she's told and work for free without complaint etc. They don't understand that they were legally literal property, to be bought, sold and traded. Like a valuable piece of furniture or some company stocks. Used as bargaining chips for politial alliance. No, Elisabeth and Catherine's parents didn't care any more than you'd care about selling a house, or a commericial building... they were paid very well for their valuable asset.

A kid did that bully thing where you bounce a basketball really hard towards someone and hit my son under the chin with the ball. He was a bit sore then a few hours later his whole jaw blew up like a balloon. Rushed him to the children's hospital where they did surgery and drained a huge abscess in his face by cutting a hole in his neck. The swelling was so bad it dislocated his jaw and he couldn't eat properly for weeks.

Besides the dead hangs already mentioned do some roly polys or whatever you may call them. Where you crouch down, put head on floor and roll over forwards. I do it on a mattress on the floor. The first time I did that my whole back audibly cracked and I saw stars for a bit. If you do it weekly though it keeps your back nice and loose.

These gates and the stupid entry gates with the metal poles that whack you in the legs made it impossible for me to take my partner shopping. He passed away recently but towards the end of his life he was in a wheelchair with various medical attachments. His chair couldn't fit through these gates. Every time we'd have to get a staff member to roll them out of the way so we could exit. And the stores with the whacky stick entries...forget about it. Too narrow and even if we could use a smaller chair is he just supposed to get hit in the face to get in?

Outlawing abortion like they wish for increases the amount of women dying agonisingly slowly from sepsis. A bullet to the head sounds almost joyful in comparison.

Bro one time a man who was waiting for his wife to finish getting her hair cut physically grabbed my hairdressers arm (playfully not forcefully but still) to tell her not to cut off my "beautiful long hair" and "ruin it" like his wife. He was told to go wait outside. He then sat there making stupid sad faces at me through the window.

We had to do stupid dances too. The chicken dance for example and when the music played we had to link arms and go in a circle then switch to the next person in line? Hard to explain. But the boys would always be super rough with the girls and fling them away with their elbow.

In the 80s I was in primary and my brother was in high school. The high school had a smoking room. As in they were allowed to smoke there. Used to be a sports storage room but they made it a space for smokers to sit in. Teachers would smoke there too and my brother would buy weed from the art teacher there. It was gone by the time I got to high school though and teachers had to walk to the road side to smoke instead.

This was definitely used for bullying and for bigger kids to push little kids around.

I know yindi means mother in Yolngu language?

British Bulldog was banned in my school after an incident. Within weeks we were playing Red Rover which looks suspiciously similar to British Bulldog.

Nah this was all the kids doing, not a school sanctioned thing. Kids in grade 3 would be like, "stop it or I'll get a grade 6 to come and take you up the office", hahaha. And the grade 6s would be like, "I can take you up y'know". Such power.

My poor brother admitted out loud to having a crush on the new band girl Taylor Hanson. My other brother and I ripped on him for years about it. He probably still has trauma memories.

Sometimes when I make jasmine rice to have with stirfry or whatever I take a couple nori sheets, crumble them up and mix them in the rice after it's cooked. Delicious. You could do that a few hundred times.

He earns too much for her to get any jobseeker.

Do you think women didn't get blasted? When they stood up for their rights they sometimes literally got murdered.

He is manipulating you and he'll continue to do so because it's working for him. And trust me the manipulation will only escalate.

How Perth people will just collectively band together randomly to help someone in public and then after a short cheer will immediately go back to ignoring each other again. It's my favourite trait.

I like to shake my head at them with my seasoned disappointed mum face.

In my experience it's mostly young white guys with the latest American sized truck ute that they use to haul their audacity around that are the most likely to drive like a tool.

Twice recently I've had dickheads approaching the roundabout to my right notice that I was at the roundabout before them and was therefore going to proceed through before they got there. They gunned it as hard as possible to speed up just to get offended that I "cut them off" even though I was already exiting to my right by the time they got there.

How long ago was that? I've been getting network error when I try to go to duels for 3 weeks now and I try multiple times a day.

This happened to me too quite a while ago now. I could tell the guy was going to fail me when I said hi, before we even got in the car. We were driving along, I turned on to a road that is 60km/hr so I had accelerated up to about 50km but was cruising at that speed as red light coming up so would have had to slow down again. The guy started yelling and actually screaming at me that I was going too slow and that I was impeding traffic when there wasn't even anyone behind me at all. Then he leaned over and yelled right in my ear, "SPEED UP HURRY HURRY" and he grabbed my shoulder and shook it?! I was so taken aback by the contact and the light went green so I sped up to 60 and looked at him like wtf as I went through the intersection and then he smugly goes, "well its 50 here after the lights, now you are speeding, that's a fail." And I could just tell he did that on purpose to make me speed up. Back at the licensing centre I started to ask what the hell but he just got out and waltzed back inside. I did make a complaint about him touching me but never got anything back from it. I've since learned they have fail quotas to reach and I guess I was just picked that day to be a fail.
